Mike Leach picks a captain because he almost won at 'Price is Right'


Mike Leach rarely disappoints in a press conference.

Last week he accused Arizona State of using a command center to steal signs, which would be a violation of rules. He called on the Pac-12 to investigate.

The Pac-12 wasn't thrilled however and ended up fining ($10,000) and reprimanding the Washington State head coach instead.

That little incident ended up delivering a harsh exchange with Sun Devils coach Todd Graham after Saturday night's clash — won by Washington State 37-32 — and then a bizarre press conference afterward where Leach declined to answer any questions about the Sun Devils. He responded only by saying he was there simply so he wouldn't get fined.

On Monday, Leach poked fun at the idea of the team captain, suggesting that all the guy does is flip a coin. And he also explained why he made his choice, Jamal Morrow. Take a listen.
