I will be honest with you. I have been a McCarty supporter. I put all of my hope in him. But it is been a mess. Hurley was signed but couldn't get in school. Becker quit before the season last year. The D3 transfer was kicked out midway last season for not going to class. The team at the beginning of this year was a mess. 2 of the 3 star transfers didn't start. The 3rd is not even good enough to play with our big man being out. What have they been working on the past 2 years? Shooting? Not really. Defense? No. Continuity? No again. Have we seen improvement in many of the players? I haven't. Many of them are putting up numbers that are worse than prior years. We have 6 juniors, including transfers and a red shirt, and a senior yet they play soft and with no confidence. I guess we now know where the coach was focusing his attention and it wasn't on helping these kids become better basketball players.
