[quote=Danzig]Texas Tech continues to investigate a complaint from Adam James and his family, but Mike Leach backers wonder why he was suspended before the investigation was complete.
Now there's a common sense question....You don't think it has anything to do with the fact that if Mike Leach wakes up 12/31/09 and is the coach of the football team he is owed a bonus of 850K......nah......just a coincidence!!
This whole story (James Kid) is an atrocious example of non medical people making medical decisions and speaking as official reps of the medical consultative staff without the training or education of that discipline....
The Univ. Board of Reagents wanted the coach out and thought the coaches actions were enough to do so......here's where they are wrong!
1) James caught 3 passes in the last game and was evaluated by a neurologist for a "mild concussion" with a normal head CT (no bleeding) following the game
2) James refuses to practice later the next week, Coach asks him to report to neurologist (James refuses) Coach calls neurologist who tells him James injuries are not serious according to neuro scoring (Glasscow Coma Scale = 14 )
There is zero chance of deterioration with this score. A fact that will come out in court when TT university loses this case and pays punitive damages
3) Craig James can whine all he wants, but this time the coach was smart enough to call the neurologist and then follow orders the doc gave as in cool dark room. Coach is unable to say anything about James's condition because of HIPAA but will make more money than God in 2010.
