How Mike Leach selects team captains, and other stories
Why does Washington State only have one game captain, and no permanent team captains?
In typical discursive Mike Leach fashion, the Cougars’ head coach took 10 minutes of his Monday press conference to explain.
He doesn’t like having the team vote on captains at the start of the year because “they may select poor representatives,” Leach said. He’s had situations where his teams elected captains who got a little too big for their britches, captains who got complacent and captains who were just downright unfit for office.
