USF fires Orlando Antigua as men’s basketball coach, names Murry Bartow as interim coach

Getting fired mid season tells me there is something dirty going on, especially when it is a Calipari minion.

Hope Murry can clean it up.

Jeff Goodman says its academic fraud.

Good luck, Murry!

His son now works at UAB with Brad (Blazer Boosters).

Thats what I thought I heard when Brad was introducing a couple of new folks in the development office when we played Miles. Good to have a Bartow back in the fold... Im sure Ruth is thrilled for her grandson and also for the new developments regarding Murry getting promoted down in Tampa.

Damn I'm old.

Damn you're old.

It's funny that Murry Bartow once had to be restrained by his assistants to keep from going ballistic in a game at South Florida because the fans were harrassing him and the team so much. Now he is the coach there.

All Blazers are proud for Murry, but wish we had the chance to get into the AAC right along with him.

I wish Murray nothing but the best. But I do think he has walked into a mess down there in Tampa.

He was already there as an assistant. It gives continuity for the team. If he turns them around, he probably gets the job. If he doesn't, he would have been gone if they fired the coach at the end of the season, which they would have done anyway without the scandal.

Murry without the A was a pretty good defensive coach back in the day.
