After leading Coastal Carolina to a regular-season conference championship, coach Gary Gilmore has been named Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year.
Gilmore was recognized via a vote by conference coaches after leading the Chanticleers to a 23-7 league record in 2018. CCU enters the conference tournament Wednesday with a 38-17 overall record.
Seven Chanticleer players were also honored. Junior pitcher Jason Bilous, senior first baseman Kevin Woodall Jr., sophomore second baseman Cory Wood, senior shortstop Seth Lancaster and junior designated hitter Zach Biermann were named first-team All-Sun Belt selections. Junior pitcher Matt Eardensohn and freshman outfielder Parker Chavers were named to the second team.
