Well these look impressive...the fact that he coached for a good amount of time in the Bundesliga is really good...the league is really strong here.

I was searching on the net and there are a few other basketball coaches with their family names as McCarthy (ex. Stephen McCarthy).

I hope as well that it is Aaron McCarthy since the German Bundesliga is an "ok" league in Europe even though it's still worse than the Spanish, Greek, Russian, Italian, and French leagues.

What's good though is that he's American and he's coached in Europe so I hope his style of coaching is a mixture of both since our players like the American style of playing but need the discipline that is present amongst European coaches.
