Steve Mitchell - uabblazer2012 - 07-11-2019 04:33 PM
It was announced today he will be the new AD and basketball coach at Altamont, the private high school in Bham.

is Barry Bearden still the basketball coach there?
RE: Steve Mitchell - BlazerMatt - 07-11-2019 09:51 PM
That’s good for him! He got his UAB retirement money now gets to double dip and stay involved in the game.
RE: Steve Mitchell - hooverblazer - 07-11-2019 10:20 PM
I know he retired from his day job at UAB, but is still going to the radio broadcasts?

Barry Bearden was a West End HS grad (as was his brother Robert) who played for Gene Bartow at UAB and then was Jim Hilyer's QB on our first UAB club FB team. His mother was a UAB medical employee as well. I hope he has "landed on his feet" where ever he has moved if not still at Altamont School.

If he can coach there or at another state public school for 25 years he will have a TRS pension to supplement what he might have from his years with the B'ham Police Dept (for several years Barry was the school's "resource officer" at Ramsay HS).
