McCarty, a native Kansan, became Kansas State assistant coach on December 8, 2005 and was among head coach Ron Prince’s first hires at Kansas State.[2] He held that position from 2006 until 2008.
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 6–4 finish in his first season in 2004 after being picked to finish last in the Lone Star Conference’s North Division that year.
Prior to East Central, McCarty coached Tabor College (Kansas) to 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. 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.
