NOTES: McCarthy was 5-7 during the 1974-75 campaign after taking over for Gene Visscher, but the mark went on Visscher's record because McCarthy was designated as Weber State's interim coach and wasn't appointed head coach until the next season. Vacated six NCAA Tournament games with New Mexico State in 1992, 1993 and 1994 plus 19 regular-season victories in 1996-97.
