Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox basketball biography Albert Lewis Barthelme Sr. (October 10, 1919 – March 4, 2004[1]) was an American basketball coach at the high school, college and professional levels.[2]

Barthelme coached the Loyola College Greyhounds basketball team for the 1944–1945 season, playing for the team the following season.[2] From 1946 to 1950 he was athletics director, basketball and football coach at Towson Catholic High School where one of his students was future NBA player and coach Gene Shue.[2]

Barthelme was head basketball coach at the University of Baltimore from 1950 to 1954. Using an offense-dominated approach dubbed "firehouse" basketball, he was the subject of numerous newspaper stories about the high-scoring games.[2] Seven games into the 1953–1954 season, the team was averaging well over 100 points per game.[3]

An assistant coach and publicist for the Baltimore Bullets 1954–1955 season,[4] Barthelme was named head coach on November 20, 1954[5] but would only coach three games before the club went out of business on November 27.[4]

In 1961 Barthelme coached basketball for St. Mary's Seminary Junior College and Patuxent Naval Base.[6]

Following his brief NBA stint, Barthelme worked in public relations at Carling Brewing Co., later becoming a beer distributor in 1962.[2] From 1966 to 1985 he served as supervisor of the St. Mary's County, Maryland Youth Commission which later became the Department of Parks and Recreation.[2] Barthelme was survived by his second wife, five sons, a daughter, and 11 grandchildren, and predeceased by his first wife and one son.[2]
