Yeah, it makes perfect sense.......Craig is Daddy, Adam is the kid, Craig was one of the ones who helped to bring the death penalty to SMU. but I will be curious to see if he transfers as well.

1) prima

2)the coach got himself fired by making political enemies with men more powerful than himself then giving those same men a reason to drill him. Leach talked shit to the safety then hung himself out over the middle and paid the price.

Yes, thank you much.

The simple question is this: Why not just send the kid back to his dorm? Or to the campus hospital?

There are absolutely no excuses for putting a kid in an electrical shed/woodshed/whatever.

NONE.

I wasn't trying to be a wise ass, hell I've been neg-repped four times on this thread already for my views on this. I guess people get upset when you don't think their views are gospel.

Absolutely. I can't imagine him not transferring. I mean.. he would have a much better shot at SMU anyways. What kills me is it was Leach that wanted to bring him in. The rest of the staff wanted to pass on him.

For the record, I am certain that he wasn't "locked in the room". I'm sure he was ordered to stay in the room in the way that any player is ordered to run stairs or do pushups. They can say no if they feel that they have to.

And again, what they had him doing is far easier on you than running for 3 hours, or anything else that might be "ordered".

1981?

:D

I didn't think you were being anything other than helpful; my thanks were sincere.

Yeah, why not let the inmates run the asylum? That always works out.

There was a guard placed outside this room so he couldn't leave.

The bottom line is that he should have been excused from practice, especially if he was already considered a lazy-ass that didn't care.

This is what happens when football coaches, drunk on the power of a $2 million dollar contract, put themselves above their players.

You're an idiot.

If the kid was a malcontent, kick him off the team.

Don't lock him in a ****ing closet with a guard at the door.

JFC.

:shake:

Maybe some of these high-school glory-days guys can tell you how much authority a college football coach's word carries. How if he tells you to stay in that room without moving or leaving or you will be off this team then that is exactly what you do.

Because the kid (by numerous accounts of others) had a history of being a lazy ass at practice and essentially wanted nothing more than to not be at practice. He had already been cleared by medical to participate to some extent at practice.
He put the kid there to help aleviate his photophobia, yet NOT give the kid what he wanted.

We'll disagree

You claimed that you did participate in sports. Even at a lower level (high school football I believe you said) if a player cannot participate in practice are they not generally to be at practice anyway if opportunity presents?
