Mike Leach puts players in the closet

I’ve heard of punishing players by restricting water and maybe even benching them…

but locking them in a closet, that’s a new one. Mike Leach is sort of an oddball though and whatever leash he had, well, its now on its final thread.

Yea, to make this situation even weirder, the player in question is the son of ESPN analyst Craig James. The player, Adam James, is a redshirt sophomore wide receiver for the Red Raiders.

A source close to the family said James sustained a concussion on Dec. 16, was examined on Dec. 17 and told not to practice due to a concussion and an elevated heart rate. The source said Leach called a trainer and directed him to move James “to the darkest place, to clean out the equipment and to make sure that he could not sit or lean. He was confined for three hours.”

A source told the Associated Press that James said Leach told him that if he came out he would be kicked off the team.

If you recall, Leach went on a tirade earlier this year after losing to in-state rival Texas A&M. Not known to be PC or anything, Leach accused the team of having “fat little girlfriends” who pampered them.

One of the all-time greatest lines.
