His 1998 Prattville team is the only team in school history to advance to the Alabama High School Athletic Association Basketball Final Four.

It was in 1998 that he was given the opportunity to take charge of the basketball program at Shelton State.  Mohun quickly hit the recruiting trail.  He used his contacts in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Louisiana and started building teams that had a winning mentality and wanted to play for championships.  He worked hard at providing his student-athletes with better living arrangements, meal-plans, strength and conditioning programs, up-graded athletic training/medical care and customized academic advising.  When he wasn’t recruiting, he was scouting.  Other ACCC coaches found it common-place to see him in their gyms.  And the hard-work paid off.  In 2001, he played for his first ACCC championship.  In 2003, he won his first championship and from that point on, his Shelton teams were winning championships on a regular basis and advancing to the NJCAA tournament.  In all, Barry won a total of 7 ACCC Championships, 7 Runners- up titles, and 7 trips to the NJCAA tournament in Hutchinson Kansas.  He had 16 consecutive 20- win seasons and 5 seasons with 30+ wins.      Along the way, Barry won numerous ACCC Coach of the Year Honors, NJCAA Region 5 Coach of the Year Awards, and Birmingham Tip-Off Club Coach of the Year Awards.  He retired in 2018 with a collegiate record of   467-138.
