NCAA Reprimands Coastal Carolina AD Chance Miller, Bars Him From Next Regional Opener

His past role in NCAA enforcement makes the rebuke especially noteworthy.

Overview

  • The Division I baseball committee said Miller berated the national coordinator of umpires and later confronted NCAA staff in the hallways at Charles Schwab Field after Game 2 of the College World Series.
  • As a sanction, he is prohibited from attending the first game of the next NCAA baseball regional in which Coastal Carolina participates.
  • The confrontation followed first-inning ejections of head coach Kevin Schnall and assistant Matt Schilling for arguing balls and strikes during the June 22 game against LSU.
  • Miller later criticized the ejections in a post on X and called for a reassessment of umpire training, assignments and reviews, though he declined comment on Friday.
  • Committee chair Jay Artigues said the conduct violated championship standards, noting the group has issued similar public reprimands this season, including one to Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan.
