Submission + - Texas Tech football coach bans Twitter for players (mashable.com)
DesScorp writes: "Texas Tech head football coach Mike Leach has banned his entire team from using Twitter, even for personal uses during personal time. Leach, famous among football fans for being a "mad scientist" with his offenses, and an eccentric (he has an obsession with pirates, and has been known to stop in the middle of a conversation to talk about pirates) banned the team from using Twitter after some of his players made tweets that he judged to be un-helpful to team morale. One player has even been suspended.The actions raise questions of legal authority; even though Texas Tech is paying for the players education, how much say does Coach Leach have over their personal lives?"
