Murry Bartow, who possesses 18 years' experience as a Division I head basketball coach (at UAB and East Tennessee State) was named USF's interim coach Tuesday.

 

Following Tuesday afternoon's practice, USF interim men's basketball coach Murry Bartow, promoted following the dismissal of Orlando Antigua, spoke to a couple of news outlets (including the Tampa Bay Times) inside the Muma Center. A bulk of the conversation is transcribed below.

 

I know you can't read the players' minds, but what does the mood seem like among the team?
"It was good today. I mean, any time there's a change it's not easy, there's a lot of emotions. But we had a great practice, guys were very upbeat and I thought we had a good day."

So there seems to be a sense of optimism that this season can be salvaged?
"Oh I think so. We've got a lot of good players, and we've got a lot of student-athletes that are hungry to be good. I saw a great energy today, it was a great enthusiasm today. We've obviously got a lot of work to do and keep building, but today was a good start."

Did Coach Antigua have a chance to talk to the guys before he left?
"I'm not sure if he did or he didn't. I don't think he did but I'm not sure."

In his defense he can't come out say "We really suuuck" or "We're gonna win out".
