Should be interesting! Brian Bailey (@bbaileywnct) June 1, 2025Another 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.
Its not OK.
This needs to be brought up.
Absolutely disrespectful.As a coach, its 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.
Thats what Im most disappointed about.
This is a national champion coach who thinks he can come in here and try to bully people around."Im disappointed.
Somebody that a lot of coaches look up to, for him to act that way, Im really disappointed.
He disrespected a hall-of-fame coach whos the site rep here.
Thats all Ive got to say.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.He was seen ripping into CCU officials & NCAA Officials CCU Kevin Schnall made sure to address the matter pic.twitter.com/jQS5vvlJPO Brandon Dunn (@BDunnsports) June 2, 2025Schnall didnt call out OSullivan by name, but his messaging was pretty clear.
OSullivan 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.
Theyll take on Auburn in the next round..
