Florida baseball coach, athletic director apologize for coach's outburst
Florida baseball coach Kevin O'Sullivan and athletic director Scott Stricklin apologized Monday for an expletive-filled tirade O'Sullivan directed at NCAA Tournament site officials the day before because he was unhappy that the start of the Gators' regional game against East Carolina was moved back an hour. Advertisement 'I did not represent the University of Florida to the appropriate standard yesterday and take full responsibility for that, and promise to learn from this experience and be better moving forward,' O'Sullivan said in a statement. He apologized to the site representatives, Rick French and Mark Scalf, as well as Coastal Carolina's associate athletic director Bryan Stiles. The regional was played at the home field of Coastal Carolina and a video showing O'Sullivan yelling at officials circulated on social media on Sunday. Later in the day, Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall used his postgame press conference — after his team beat East Carolina to advance to the Super Regionals — to address the situation. He did not name O'Sullivan but said another coach had 'disrespected' the school's associate AD, the field crew at the stadium and tournament officials. 'This is a national championship coach who thinks he can come in here and try to bully people around,' Schnall said. The start time of the game was reportedly moved because East Carolina's game on Saturday night ended late. 'This afternoon, I met with Kevin O'Sullivan and told him his actions prior to yesterday's NCAA Tournament game fell well short of our expectations of how Gators treat people,' Stricklin said in a statement. He added, 'On behalf of Florida athletics, I want to personally apologize for everyone impacted, — including NCAA representatives, Coastal Carolina and their staff, East Carolina and their team, as well as Gator Nation.'

Coastal Carolina coach rips Florida's O'Sullivan for expletive-filled tirade and calls him a 'bully'
First-year Coastal Carolina baseball coach Kevin Schnall called Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan a bully and disrespectful for his expletive-filled rant directed at site administrators before an elimination game at the NCAA Conway Regional. O'Sullivan was upset about the start time of his team's Sunday elimination game against East Carolina being pushed back an hour. East Carolina had played a game Saturday that ended at midnight. O'Sullivan declined to comment on the confrontation after his team's 11-4 loss to the Pirates. Asked if he wanted to publicly apologize, he said, 'I handled it properly, you know, at the end of the game, yes.' Schnall, whose team eliminated the Pirates with a 1-0 win Sunday night, said he felt compelled to 'stand up for what's right' and comment on O'Sullivan. 'What transpired this morning on our field, another coach disrespected our associate AD, who works as hard as anybody in our entire program, he disrespected our field crew, who are the salt of the earth. These guys would do anything for our program,' Schnall said. 'It's not OK, and this needs to be brought up.' Schnall said O'Sullivan's tirade, circulated widely on social media, was disrespectful and unacceptable. 'This is a national champion coach who thinks he can come in here and try to bully people around,' Schnall said. 'Disappointed. Disappointed somebody that a lot of coaches look up to, for him to act that way.' Asked about O'Sullivan, East Carolina coach Cliff Godwin said, 'It wasn't just directed at us. It was directed at everybody. Whatever, man. We won. We get to play again, so that's all that matters.' Coastal Carolina, the No. 13 national seed, will play No. 4 Auburn in a best-of-three super regional this week. ___ AP college sports:

Coastal Carolina baseball coach rips Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan after reported outburst: 'Absolutely disrespectful'
Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan reportedly got into an altercation with tournament staff on Sunday over an apparent scheduling change. (John Byrum/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) Kevin Schnall made sure to call out Florida baseball coach Kevin O'Sullivan on his way out of the Conway Regional on Sunday. Schnall, who led Coastal Carolina to a 1-0 win over East Carolina to advance into the super regional round of the NCAA baseball tournament, called out O'Sullivan for a reported altercation on site earlier in the day. Advertisement O'Sullivan, according to multiple reports, had 'ripped into' tournament staff over a scheduling change. Specifics of that incident aren't known, but Schnall made sure to speak out about it after his team's win. 'Another coach disrespected our associate AD, who works as hard as anybody in our entire program,' Schnall said. 'He disrespected our field crew, who are the salt of the earth. These guys would do anything for our program. It's not OK. This needs to be brought up. Absolutely disrespectful. 'As a coach, it's our job to mentor young kids and the way he treated the two site reps, the way he treated our associate AD, the way he treated our field crew is absolutely unacceptable. That's what I'm most disappointed about. This is a national champion coach who thinks he can come in here and try to bully people around. "I'm disappointed. Somebody that a lot of coaches look up to, for him to act that way, I'm really disappointed. He disrespected a hall-of-fame coach who's the site rep here. That's all I've got to say.' Schnall didn't call out O'Sullivan by name, but his messaging was pretty clear. O'Sullivan has led the Gators to the College World Series nine times throughout his coaching career, and he won a championship with them in 2017. Regardless, Schnall came out on top. East Carolina beat Florida 11-4 to knock the Gators out of the tournament. Coastal Carolina then beat the Pirates in the final game at the regional. That pushed the Chanticleers, who are the No. 13 seed nationally, into the super regional for the first time since 2016. They'll take on Auburn in the next round.
