According to sources from inside the college basketball world within the state of North Carolina, Mack McCarthy will resign at East Carolina to assume a fundraising job within the athletic department.
McCarthy, 57, is in his third year at the helm of the Pirate basketball program and has three years remaining on the five-year deal he received after going 11-19 as interim coach in 2007-08. Last season, more improvement was shown as ECU went 13-17.
However, the Pirates are just 10-19 this season and are going to suffer the program's 13th consecutive losing campaign--which is easily the longest streak in school history.
Where will Terry Holland turn for his third basketball hire in 5 years?
While the Pirates' AD has been openly against second tenured coaches in the past, don't be surprised if ECU chooses to bring former coach and current Kansas assistant Joe Dooley back to Greenville.
Dooley, 44, compiled a 57-52 mark from 1995-99 and spent eight years at ECU between his time as a head coach and as an assistant on Eddie Payne's staff.
