Bartow inducted into Hall of Fame
Posted on Nov 23, 2009 in Sports
Legendary UAB coach Gene Bartow was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame on Sunday. The induction ceremony was held at the College Basketball Experience — home of the hall — in the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo.
“It’s awfully nice of the committee to honor me in this way,” Bartow said. “I am humbled and very appreciative of this honor. I appreciate all my ex-players and coaches. Without them, this honor would not have been possible.”
Bartow is one of the top college basketball coaches of all time. By the time he retired from collegiate coaching in 1996, he had led teams for 34 years at six universities, compiling 647 wins and 12 NCAA Tournament appearances. He still ranks in the top 20 among winningest NCAA D-I basketball coaches.
Bartow is considered by many to be the “founding father” of UAB athletics. As the UAB Director of Athletics from 1977 until his retirement in 2000, Bartow grew an intercollegiate sports program there from its infancy into one that featured 17 sports.
