Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall rips Kevin O'Sullivan over reportedly berating NCAA, CCU officials: 'It's absolutely unacceptable'

Following reports that Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan had gotten demonstrably upset with a schedule change on the third day of the Conway Regional, Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall chimed in. He was not happy.

And that might be putting it mildly. Schnall went after the Florida baseball coach after his team knocked off East Carolina to win the regional.

“One last thing I have is I have to say this and I don’t know if I’m supposed to say this or not,” Schnall told reporters with a steely look on his face. “But I believe in standing up for what’s right, and 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. It’s not OK. And this needs to be brought up.”

There was an incident that occurred prior to the Florida/ECU game that had people talking.

Reportedly Florida HC Kevin O'Sullivan was upset that the game was moved.

According to a report from Brian Bailey of WNCT-TV in Greenville, N.C., O’Sullivan was “very upset with the schedule change” on Sunday. The game was moved from its original start time of 12:06 p.m. ET to 1:06 p.m. ET because a game the previous evening went late into the night.

Per Bailey, O’Sullivan ripped into the NCAA staff present in Conway and reportedly had things to say to the East Carolina Pirates as they crossed the field ahead of the game.

“Absolutely disrespectful. As a coach it’s our job to mentor young kids,” Schnall said. “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. And I’m really, 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. Disappointed. Disappointed somebody that a lot of coaches look up to, for him to act that way, really disappointed. He disrespected a Hall of Fame coach who’s the site rep here. That’s all I’ve got to say.”

For his part, Kevin O’Sullivan addressed the situation after the game. He was asked by reporters if he cared to comment on his pregame chirping.

“I don’t want to address that right now. I handled it properly,” O’Sullivan said, as the reporter chimed in for follow-up. “At the end of the game, yes.”
