From the tenor of the offending tweet he clearly has some morale issues too. Why not cut the bull and just tell the players the truth. This coach will find a way suspend you if you do anything that might reflect publicly on the crappy job he's doing.

Banning a player from playing due to, of all things, Twitter seems harsh. Granted there is only one Tweet available, but teams need to adapt to the world as it changes. If the coach has a problem with what they said on Twitter, surely it would have made more sense to lay down a couple of ground rules instead? .-= Luci´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/crearesearchengineoptimisationblog/~3/5GS4RJTSqPY/how-to-choose-seo-company.html" rel="nofollow">How to Choose an SEO Company</a> =-.

I think the main point here is that most football coaches are interested in one thing; WINNING Games! And they have more important things to attend to rather than "coaching" their players on what to tweet!? So you can't blame the guy for wanting to minimize any distractions during the season. You also have to agree with coach Leach's motives since we've already seen countless evidence of sports+twitter-related distractions.

Banning cell phones and emails? The coach should "coach" these guys on what to say, not remove their ability to say it. What’s next? Banning cell phones and emails?
