We are a little leery of this story because of the Twitter report, and quite honestly, we hope we are wrong.
According to a tweet by Iowa State women's hoop coach Bill Fennelly, his friend, former Iowa State and current North Texas Football Coach Dan McCarney has suffered a stroke.
Here's what Fennelly's Twitter said: "Please keep Dan McCarney in your thoughts and prayers after a recent stroke-no better people than he and his wife Margy"
The Des Moines Register reported on Fennelly's Tweet. You can read that RIGHT HERE
The Denton, TX Record-Chronicle did report McCarney went to the hospital yesterday (Sunday) and was able to confirm it was for a series of tests. They went on to say the school would release a statement Monday afternoon.
Read that story RIGHT HERE
The University just released a statement as we write this story. Athletic Director Rick Villarreal saying the following:
"Yesterday afternoon after returning from Miami, I spoke with Margy McCarney who said that her husband, Dan, had experienced some medical difficulties significant enough that he was taken to the hospital."
"The details that we know at this time are that he was admitted and is undergoing a batter of tests and will continue to be under observation. The exact cause and nature of the symptoms of his illness are not immediately known by us at this time. The family has asked until a complete diagnosis and a course of treatment is established that their privacy be respected. We can't comment any further at this time and will release information as it becomes available and approved by the family."
Though nobody references the word stroke in this statement, there is a significant health issue here it appears. We wish McCarney well and hope he is not incapacitated in anyway from the "Illness and Treatment".
Mr. Fennelly may be 100% correct here, but officially he isn't...which is why we are going to classify this as McCarney being hospitalized only.
