Coaching career

McCarty came to Kansas State after a two-year stint as the head coach at East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma. While at East Central, McCarty guided the Tigers to a 9-11 record, including a surprising 6-4 finish in his first season at the helm in 2004 on the heels of being picked last in the Lone Star Conference’s North Division that year.

Prior to taking the reins at East Central, McCarty built Tabor College (Kansas), into an NAIA power from the ground up.

In his first season at Tabor in 1999, the Bluejays had just 14 players in the program and struggled through a 0-10 campaign. But improvements followed rapidly as McCarty guided Tabor to a 3-7 record in 2000, a 5-5 mark in 2001, a 6-4 ledger in 2002 and ultimately a 9-2 record in 2003 that saw the Bluejays achieve a No. 15 national ranking and the program’s first berth in the NAIA playoffs.
