One of the things you’re supposed to do in treating someone with a concussion is to place them away from light. A broom closet may not have been a great choice, but that was how his assistants interpreted the coaches instructions to get the kid out of direct light. I have always tended to think Leach was railroaded at Tech. He will certainly create a lot of juicy sports page copy (and a very exciting offense for WSU).
One of the reports (the whole matter is a he said, she said) had the trainers put him in the video room and told him specifically not to go into the closet, then James did on his own and taped it with his camera phone.
Whatever the truth is, Leach was definitely railroaded.
