Texas Tech coach Mike Leach is seeking a temporary restraining order that would allow him to coach in the Alamo Bowl.
The motion was filed Tuesday in Lubbock County, Texas court.
An in-chambers hearing was set for 8:30 a.m Wednesday morning in the 99th District Court.
In the filing, filed with "great regret" by Leach, the coach says he "would never intentionally harm or endanger a player" and that he has been "forced into this situation without being afforded any process."
Leach's legal representation claims there are "no legal grounds for the suspension and no provision in Mike Leach's contract authorizing it."
Last time the HQ checked, we thought all contracts gave ourselves the right to suspend ourselves if we saw fit...
Cute...
Leach's reps ((Ted Liggett signed the bottom of the TRO document request)) also claim breach of contract...
This should be cleaned up in a hurry...
Here's the motion filed on Leach's behalf...
UPDATE: ESPN's Joe Schad relays that Texas Tech University may, within the next 48 hours, attempt to fire Leach with cause from his position at the school.
