There must be some mistake. A thread about a guy that coached here 9 years discussing him being nominated to the hall of fame partly for the work done over those 9 years just disappeared. Regardless of how it ended it did happen and is a huge part of our basketball tradition. It is also, to my knowledge, the only time a tiger coach has ever been nominated for such an honor.
I will assume you guys just hit the wrong button and wait for it to come back so those that wish to can show their appreciation.
In 1989, Bartow was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, 10 years later, in 1999, Central Missouri State (now the University of Central Missouri) also elected him to theirs.[8] Bartow was also voted one of Valparaiso University's 150 most influential people in October 2009.

In 2013, Bartow was selected for induction into the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) Hall of Fame.

The irony is that the main forum is co-titled after a coach that LEFT Memphis to coach elsewhere, then began a program that became our biggest regional rival. Plus he was the mentor to the great Andy Kennedy.
