FLINT, Mich. -- Jim Harbaugh checked his cell phone from the middle of an emptying Genesee courtroom Monday afternoon and breathed a sigh of relief. The Wolverines' coach had managed to sneak away from campus for a full morning without missing any fires that needed putting out or issues that need to be addressed.
In a courtroom and away from a cell phone: two anxiety-inducing scenarios for a head football coach in the month of June. For Harbaugh, though, the visit to Judge F. Kay Behm's court was an opportunity to learn more about his newest passion, and tucking his phone away for the morning was a small price of admission.
