Mark Schlereth Twitters Video Refuting James's "Shed" Allegations

Mark Schlereth, former professional football player and a television sportscaster, has Tweeted a video of an investigative report that is refuting the allegations that suspended Texas Tech coach Mike Leach sent injured player Adam James to a "shed" or an "electrical closet," after the player suffered a concussion. Adam James's father Craig James, a famous ESPN sports commentator, has complained of his son's mistreatment to Texas Tech. The school asked coach Mike Leach to apologize, which he refused to do, saying he did nothing wrong. Leach was suspended from coaching the team as the result of the dispute.

The sports community has been divided over Leach's suspension. Some said Leach had a right to send the player off the field. Others said the coach went too far by sending injured James into a questionable facility. But, the video that was Tweeted by Schlereth disproves the fact that the place where James was sent off to was indeed a "shed" or an "electric closet," the way it was called in the media.

In the video, an investigative reporter gets to talk with Mike Leach's lawyer Ted Liggett, who takes him on a tour of the "shed" facility that James was sent to after suffering a concussion. Liggett says the facility is not a "shed," but a "garage that holds equipment, dummies, an ice machine." He says the facility is anything "far, far from a shed." Liggett says Adam James was sent to the "garage" after the injury because it had ice and a fan. Liggett also noted that James was not kept in the facility for three hours and was not forced to do anything.
