That's exactly my point. He wasn't locked up at all. He was following orders of his coach just like any other player would if he's told to run for 3 hours. And Leach's order seems to me to be a complete non-threat of an order. It's not like he made a kid with a concussion do the OK drill or even 100 sit ups. He told him to stand in the equipment locker (shaded and airconditioned, if I heard it right) and stay standing for 3 hours, just like the rest of the players who are practicing have to do. And he put someone there to watch him to make sure he didn't sit down or lean on anything.

It's nothing more than what just about every football coach demands of any player at any level. Only he gets an airconditioned, shaded room to do it in because he has a consussion.

There is nothing wrong with that story, IMO. NOthing. If that's what happened, Leach is completely in the clear. If something else happened, then we'll see what develops.
