Quote:One name he can scratch off of his potential list of candidates is interim head coach Murry Bartow, who took over for Alford in January and coached the Bruins to a 10-10 record during the second half of the season. Bartow said after Thursday's loss that he doesn't want to be UCLA's permanent head coach and expects the Bruins to find the right coach for the job without him.

"They'll hire a very good coach, I'm sure, and hopefully there's good days ahead for me," Bartow said. "I'm sure there are."

Translation - I know I haven't earned the full time job so let me step aside gracefully.

i am too good for UCLA :)

Yep

Seriously—would it even be a thought to have Murry come back and serve as Rob’s elder statesman assistant? I think he’s got to get one for next season.

It would be a good idea. Someone needs to fill that role. Not sure Murry would be willing to do that.

Since Murry has pulled out of the UCLA BBHC job search, he probably will leave the program. I can't imagine a new HC being comfortable with him staying on as an assistant. I'm sure some program will find his name and career history attractive.
