Officially, Oklahoma State’s Ruby Meylan and Texas Tech’s NiJaree Canady are Big 12 co-pitchers of the year. OSU coach Kenny Gajewski has issues with how it went down.

With a tense, nearly four-minute answer after his No. 2 seeded Cowgirls defeated the No. 7 seeded Utah Utes in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament , he laid bare the issue behind a social media post after the Big 12’s official softball team was announced.

Can we make the Coaches’ vote public?May find out there is a different result! https://t.co/0kKgteYYmg

Gajewski’s post could be interpreted a number of ways. He said his issue was not with Canady or Texas Tech. It was with the Big 12. And he had a lot to say on the topic, as recorded by outlets covering the tournament including the Tulsa World’s Eric Bailey.
