Steve Alford has fired his Chief recruiter at UCLA.

The rumor is that Murray Bartow will replace him.

Now if only Murry Bartow could find a job.

Maybe someone should start a rumor that Murry will change his name to Murray & all will be taken care of.

An interesting tidbit from an LA Times article:

Quote:Murry and Gene (Bartow) compiled 974 victories as head coaches (Gene with 647), the fifth-highest total among father-son duos.

1. ?
2. ?
3. ?
4. ?
5. 974 - Bartow (Gene [647] & Murry [327])

Any idea who the top four might be?

I thought maybe the Meyer's, but that's not the case.

955 - Meyer (Ray [724] & Joey [231])

Bob and pat knight are likely number 1.

I'm guessing Eddie and Scott Sutton (806 + 328)

902 + 79 for Bobby and Pat Knight.

Wow you are right!


On a hunch I looked up the Drews:
Homer Drew has 640 and Scott Drew has 318 and counting for 958 combined, so they are close but not in top 5.

Drawing a blank at other winning father/son duos.

The John Thompsons (Georgetown) maybe????

Other father and sons. I can't look them up.
Kevin and Ralph willard
Tony Bennett and his father ??

The Petinos?

I checked my two. Bennett's are up there but not top 5. Willard's aren't close.

Just over 700 not counting what's about to be vacated

I checked John Thompson $ his son: 596+346 so also not top 5.

Hank and Moe IBA totaled a combined 991 wins, so they are top 5.

So we have:
1. Sutton
2. Iba
3. Knight
4. ???
5. Bartow

Obviously the missing tandem can rank anywhere between 1 and 4.

I guess excluded by the way the article was written, but Pat & Tyler Summit combined for 1128 wins, so they would be second on the list.

was Tom massimino a coach anywhere because his dad has over 800 wins
