Bishop Gorman High School has suspended its baseball coach, Chris Sheff, and launched an investigation into the program following concerns raised about its conduct, stating, "We had received some complaints that were concerning regarding our baseball program." The school, participating in the National High School Invitational in Cary, North Carolina, has declined to comment on the specifics of Sheff's suspension or the nature of the investigation. Concurrently, Basic High School's baseball coach, Scott Baker, who led the team to a Class 5A state title in 2022 and has achieved a 16-3 record this season, is no longer with the team. An interim coach has been named as Basic, ranked No. 2 in the Review-Journal’s rankings, continues its season. The departures of Sheff and Baker from their respective schools have stirred discussions in the Las Vegas valley, especially given Sheff's previous dismissal from the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) in 2010 due to rules violations before he ever coached a game.
