Ineligible as a freshman in 1997–98, Karcher played two years of college basketball as a guard/forward with Temple University from 1998 to 2000 before leaving early to enter the 2000 NBA draft.
Professional career
Karcher participated in training camp with the Philadelphia 76ers, but never played for them in a regular season game. He was selected with the 59th pick in the 2001 NBA D-League draft by the Greenville Groove, and would also play for the Richmond Rhythm of the International Basketball League that same year. In 2005, he participated in training camp with the Utah Jazz but was not signed to a contract. He spent the majority of his professional playing career overseas. Karcher played in France with Hyères-Toulon in the French top-tier league, the LNB Pro A, and with ALM Évreux Basket, in the French 2nd-tier league, the LNB Pro B. After five years in France, Karcher spent one year in Iran, followed by one year in Argentina, before ending his playing career in 2007.
