Leach's own progeny are going everywhere except Lubbock, while the Pirate remains stuck in Pullman, Wash.
One development in the paragraph above is not necessarily unrelated to the other, in case you were wondering.
Before getting into how that could be so, consider the recent spread of Leach's coaching tree.
