In 1929, the University of Southern California was looking for a new basketball coach, and Jones – at USC since 1925 – recommended his old colleague for the position.
He was Jones' top assistant on the sidelines from 1929 to 1940, also serving as the team's chief scout and coach of the "Spartan" scout team; Barry was often credited by the "Headman" with devising the strategies that proved most effective in shutting down opponents.
Tragically, it was while scouting a USC opponent that he died; attending a University of California football game on September 23, 1950, he suffered a heart attack while climbing the hill to Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, and died before reaching the hospital.

 National Review: 1929 and 1987: the differences - Looking Back at Black Monday   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
First, while in general the market is an excellent leading indicator of the prospects for the real economy, in 1929 the economy peaked in August, one month before the market peaked in September, and two months before the market crashed.
Second, and more important, the decline in the economy from August 1929 to the end of 1930 was somewhat more severe than during the first year of most recessions, but, had an upturn come shortly thereafter, the episode would have been classified as a garden-variety recession.
The argument that the 1929 market crash produced the 1931-33 economic contraction is a prime example of the post-hoc-ergo-propter-hoc fallacy.
