After additional reports of inappropriate conduct came to light, Evansville fired McCarty on January 21, 2020. In a statement, school officials said that McCarty had been counseled the previous year for inappropriate behavior, and had taken part in Title IX training. The statement added that while the investigation would continue, "the facts uncovered thus far" demanded McCarty's immediate firing. In a letter to the university community obtained by local NBC affiliate WFIE-TV, UE president Christopher Pietruszkiewicz said that the investigation had uncovered "persistent and troublesome facts" about McCarty's behavior, and that McCarty had attempted to "improperly influence witnesses." Based on this and other incidents, Pietruszkiewicz and other school officials concluded that it was "untenable" for McCarty to remain as head coach. Both the university's statement and the letter from Pietruszkiewicz said, "There is no place at UE for any behavior by any University employee or student that jeopardizes the safety and security of others."

Assistant coach Bennie Seltzer was named as interim coach.
