Texas softball coach Mike White apologized Friday evening for making an obscene gesture during his team's loss to Oklahoma State at the Big 12 tournament in Oklahoma City.
"Today, I was ejected from the Big 12 Championship semifinal game versus Oklahoma State," he said in a statement."I would like to apologize to everyone involved including the Big 12 Conference, Oklahoma State, my softball team and all Texas fans for my actions after being ejected.
"Out of frustration I did something while leaving the field of play that I regret, and I hope that my apology will be accepted for my uncharacteristic indiscretion. I know that I have embarrassed the University of Texas, the Texas softball program and my athletic director Chris Del Conte, who have placed trust in me to lead this team in an honorable way. Today was certainly not the right way to conduct oneself during softball competition.
