By all accounts, CC has taken care of his money very well. So, other than the idea of respect, his salary probably wouldn't mean a lot. It is, likely, the idea he can get head coaching experience in his home town. If they get him quality assistants, he has a good chance to be successful.
UE in "serious" talks with Cheaney.

Sounds like it isn’t going to happen with Calbert.
Aces fans may be forced to support a Mildcat.
IIRC, Recker had stopped seeing his paralyzed girlfriend around the time he transferred. If she was a reason for the transfer, it wasn't maintained. His dad lived in Iowa. His wreck may have been enough to cause him to move to be with family or it could have been a way to come play for Alford.
If Recker could get a waiver, others can too.
UE wants to improve their schedule and a coach that will be active in the community. Word is Walter has checked all the boxes so far and Calbert hasn't. McCarty will be in town Tuesday morning while Ragland interviewed today.
My only question is if UE can offer enough money to get McCarty.
On the plus side, McCarty has coached under Stevens. On the negative side, there will be a few fans show up at the Ford Center in UK blue.
Maybe to get his feet wet in a head coaching job. Tommy Amaker tried his hand at Michigan and had a hard time. Some coaches try to start a little lower and try for success to build the resume. Another thing-is blockchargelarge on here just to have confrontational posts with others. Because from many posts,it sure seems that way. We can all agree nicely to disagree about thoughts. Not one of us are experts or we would be making a heck of a lot more money.
What I’ve heard is that Calbert wanted significantly more money for the assistants and recruiting budget than the university was willing/able to afford.
I think it is a good hire. Hopefully Ragland can come back to Evansville as an assistant and they can keep more local talent. Nunge would have been a star at UE and Lairy from Bosse would have been a good player for them to keep in town.
I'm not impressed with McCarty being hired. He'll have a very tough first year if the best players transfer, and I believe the "honeymoon" will be brief.

He's got a lot of coaching experience though no head coaching. It broke my heart when he went to UK. He was from Calbert's school at Harrison and I just thought he would come to IU as well. BTW, my mother graduated from Evansville Central and I have a lot of family down in that area. Ok, you probably didn't want to know these things, but screw it. I typed it and now will stop.

I don’t even recall IU recruiting Walter. Heck, they barely recruited Calbert. As I recall, Knight had to be convinced by an assistant to make a late offer. In fairness, Cheaney missed a lot of his senior year due to injury.
