Ole Miss AD plays prank on Chris Malloy before revealing he won Golfweek Coach of the Year
Everyone knows that harrowing feeling when your boss calls you into their office. Your heart sinks into your stomach, the sweat glands start pumping, and you just can't wait for whatever this is to be over with.
Surely that's the feeling Ole Miss men's golf head coach Chris Malloy had when his boss, athletic director Keith Carter, summoned him to his office to talk about a "serious issue."
In a hilarious and heartwarming video posted to social media Thursday, Carter acted as if Malloy, or perhaps one of his players, was in big trouble.
"I got a call yesterday, and I think it could turn into a big deal," Carter tells Malloy in the video, as the presumably hidden camera zooms in on Malloy's perplexed expression.
After a few more seconds of fear, Malloy was relieved and elated to hear the actual news: He was named Golfweek 2025 Men's Coach of the Year.
It was a harmless joke played on a deserving honoree.
Malloy guided the Rebels to their best season in school history, which included Michael La Sasso's individual national championship and a national finals appearance as a team.
