Texas Tech Suspends Football Coach After Complaint About Treatment of Injured Player

According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, Mike Leach, Texas Tech University's head football coach, ordered a player to stand in a shed for two hours because he felt the player was faking an injury. He then repeated the punishment two days later. Craig James, a former professional football player, confirmed to the Associated Press that it was his son, Adam, a wide receiver on the team, who was injured during a practice on December 16 and later complained about his treatment. The AP reported that Adam James suffered a concussion during a scrimmage.
