STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Frank Anderson is out after nine seasons as Oklahoma State’s baseball coach.
Athletic director Mike Holder announced Tuesday that Anderson will not be back as the Cowboys’ coach next season after missing the NCAA tournament two of the last three seasons.
Anderson was 329-208 while in charge of the Cowboys, reaching the NCAA tournament six times and coming within one win of the College World Series in the 2007 super regionals.
Holder said in a statement that Anderson had to “endure five years of very significant scholarship reductions due to miscalculations by the compliance office” but never made it an excuse. The Cowboys finally emerged from those scholarship limits but still could not make the postseason this year after finishing fifth in the Big 12.
Anderson served as the pitching coach for Texas Tech from 1991 to 1999 before spending four seasons as the pitching coach at Texas.

Add commentFrank Will Land on his Feet
The departure of Frank Anderson and his California pipeline spelled doom for the program at Tech. And that was a long time ago. He went to Austin and saved Augie. He was very successful in Stillwater until the athletics department fouled up on eligibility issues. He will, of course, land on his feet.
At least OSU didn't lie to Frank about why they let him go and then cheat him out of earned pay, earned bonuses, and contractual buy-out money. They also didn't start a smear campaign to impune him personally and professionally.
Some places do business different from others.
Good luck, Frank.
Yep
And it shows
Maybe Tech will take a close
Maybe Tech will take a close look at Frank Anderson and Greg Evans. Both of them did an amazing job at Tech, I wouldn't mind seeing these two back at Tech.
Agreed
Especially Frank Anderson. Seems like when he left for UT is about the time the baseball program started circling the drain.
Unbeknownst!
I cannot shake the feeling that Ron Paul is somehow to blame for this.
