Murry Bartow, an American Basketball coach, is currently the head coach at East Tennessee State University . Prior to accepting the head coaching job at ETSU, he served as the head coach for UAB from 1996 to 2002 , succeeding his father Gene Bartow , the creator of the Blazers basketball program. At UAB, he compiled a 103-83 record, that included 48 conference wins.

Bartow's first season at ETSU brought division and conference regular season titles and the Southern Conference Tournament championship. The team finished 27-6 (15-1 conference) and ended their season in a 76-73 NCAA tournament opening round loss to the University Of Cincinnati . Bartow was named the SoCon Coach of the Year.

Injuries and poor play the next season resulted in a 10-19 finish, in what turned out to be the Bucs final season in the Southern Conference. The following season, the Bucs move to the Atlantic Sun Conference resulted in a disappointing 15-13 record.

Bartow responded by leading the Buccaneers to the regular season Atlantic Sun title in 2006-07 with a 24-10 overall record, despite the graduation of three starters. Bartow was named Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year.

Bartow holds a BA from UAB and a master's degree from Indiana University .
