GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The NCAA Division I Baseball Committee issued a public reprimand to Florida coach Kevin O’Sullivan on Friday for aggressive behavior and profanity-laced language directed at site administrators for the regional in Conway, South Carolina.

The committee said O’Sullivan’s actions violated an NCAA bylaw that says misconduct in a championship event is “any act of dishonesty, unsportsmanlike conduct, unprofessional behavior or breach of law, occurring from the time the championship field is announced through the end of the championship, that discredits the event or intercollegiate athletics.”
