We are happy for him and his family, but certainly sad to see him go. Coach Wileman is one of the best coaches I have ever worked with. He has been a huge part of our success here at Kentucky. His ability to help young men develop, not just into elite soccer players, but great people is second to none. His Ivy League experience, having been a big part of a nationally-competitive Dartmouth program, will be a huge asset at Brown. He is ready for this. I look forward to watching his success and wish Chase and Chelsea all the best. Johan Cedergren, Head Coach University of Kentucky   Exciting times are ahead for Brown men's soccer! Coach Wileman is an excellent coach and knows exactly what to do to build championship teams in the Ivy League. He has helped build and coach many NCAA tournament teams and won many conference championships. I have no doubt Brown will be competing for championships soon. Congrats to Coach Wileman and Brown soccer!" Chad Riley, Head Coach Notre Dame   I am delighted that Chase will have the opportunity to lead the historic mens soccer program at Brown University. In Chase, Brown has hired one of the most dedicated and talented coaches working in NCAA Division I. During his years at Dartmouth and Kentucky, Chase made a tremendous impact on the success of both programs, as well as a highly positive impact on the student-athletes that he has coached. I am excited to follow his progress at Brown and look forward to seeing their mens soccer program thrive under his leadership. Jeff Cook, Head Coach Penn State University

Scott piloted the Hawks to a conference championship and the NCAA Tournament for the first time in nine seasons in 2014. The Hawks, playing in their inaugural season in the Sun Belt Conference, captured all three major team honors. After an inauspicious 0-6-4 start to the season, Scott guided the Hawks to a momentous turnaround, which included a 3-1-1 conference season to claim the Sun Belt regular season title and the tournament's top seed. The Hawks went on the road to shutout #4 Appalachian State (2-0) and then the tournament host and #2 seed Georgia Southern (1-0) on its home field to claim the 2015 Sun Belt Conference Championship and automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.   The Hawks' season would end in the opening round of the national tournament after a solid effort in a 2-1 defeat at Penn State. The appearance would mark Hartwick's 24th all-time. Scott would be crowned the Sun Belt Conference Men's Soccer Coach of the Year, becoming one of only a handful of coaches to earn the distinction two years in a row in two separate conferences. Senior Jhevaughan Beckford and junior Tom Buckner both would earn all-conference honors as well.

The victory over then-No. 9 Akron on its home field snapped the Zips NCAA record 49-game (46-0-3) conference unbeaten streak.   Under Scotts guidance, the Hawks qualified for the MAC Tournament for the first time since 2009. For his efforts, he would be named the MACs Gary V. Palmisano Coach of the Year.   Nine players earned Mid-American All-Conference honors under Scott over four seasons.

In 2012, he guided 'Wick to a 5-10-2 mark with victories over Bowling Green, Florida Atlantic, Bucknell, St. Bonaventure, and NJIT. The Hawks were a very competitive side with seven of their losses coming by just one goal. In 2011, Scott led the Hawks to a 5-6-5 overall record. The team finished 1-2-3 in the Mid-American Conference and fifth in the standings missing the playoffs by just a single game.
