Did Adam James go into the electrical closet of his own volition? Was he forced to go in there?

According to the article above:

"Leach told the Times that e-mails published Thursday by The News prove Tech didn't want him around" and that they "took place during the contentious contract negotiations in late 2008 and early 2009."

Form all that I know, I stand by Leach, and his version of what transpired. Leach was railroaded out of Tech and the admin knows it. The admin thought he would go quietly, but figured wrong. Good for Leach standing up for his reputation and livelihood. Adam James is a little spoiled brat who runs to his enabler daddy. It is terrible how his dad had ruined him for life.

My email to Kent Hance - Chancellor TTU - this morning.

Mr Hance,

I am sure your email box is overflowing and your phone is still ringing off the wall, but I want to express my displeasure with the way the entire situation with Coach was handled by both sides.

This is a personnel issue and should not be tried in the news media by either side. The constant dribble of leaks from the Coach and the University are disgusting and all involved need to go down the road. Texas Tech is now the laughingstock of college football because of the childlike behavior of Coach Leach’s supporters and the University. I am embarrassed to tell people I graduated from TTU.

Will the adults in Lubbock please take charge of the situation. Clean the house of all involved (that includes administration, athletic director and coaching staff and anyone else leaking emails or comments to the press) and lets move on.

Sincerely,

Rednek
TTU ‘81

What is going on?

From everything I’ve read, and my own limited experience, the very thing that you want someone with a concussion to do, is sit quietly in a dark cool room. Sounds to me like Leach was looking out for the little snot.

"I think he used his position at ESPN to coerce me into allowing Adam to play more," Leach told the Times. "He made it clear that he had a business relationship with our chancellor, or was certainly in conversation about such things."

Gee, wasn't James a member of the best college football team money could buy at SMU—just before they got hit with the death penalty? Perhaps he would like to explain precisely what his 'business relationship' with the chancellor might be.

What will be interesting is if there is investigative work done to see if and when there were calls made by ESPN’s Craig James to whomever on campus that Mike Leach said took place and what all the other football players themselves have to say about Mike Leach and Adam James.

ESPN definitely has a black eye because of its biased coverage: from Craig James commenting on his son's situation during games he was working to ESPN’s non-coverage of the signs that dotted the AlamoBowl.

Did Adam James go into the electrical closet of his own volition? Was he forced to go in there?

Also, how were other players with concussions treated?
