College Baseball Daily has learned that former Auburn Baseball coach Sunny Golloway was fired over having players throwing bullpen sessions with coaches during a time period coaches could not attend. This is an NCAA infraction and could lead to players being ruled ineligible. When Sunny was questioned about the bullpen sessions by Auburn Athletic Department staff, he denied they were going on. But he was caught in the lie as there was video and photo evidence of the bullpens with the coaching staff. This is the reason that current Associate Head Coach and Pitching Coach Tom Holliday has been placed on Administrative Leave also.

NCAA has too many rules

At OU, for example, he was at odds with players and coaches from past eras. There was friction. Distrust. Anger. And in the end, many of those alums refused to have anything to do with the program as long as Golloway was there. Some reacted with unbridled glee when he left OU for Auburn in 2013, including former All-American and current Atlanta Braves broadcaster Joe Simpson.
"I'm so thrilled that he's gone that they could hire a basset hound and it would be an improvement," he said.

because of their histories, Golloway and Holliday are never going to get the benefit of the doubt. They have earned the mistrust.
