Matthew Sharpe/Getty ImagesMichael Oher’s coach at Ole Miss in the early 2000s, Hugh Freeze, praised the Tuohy family for getting in the “arena” and helping Oher when he was homeless. Freeze called the Tuohy’s actions “admirable.”that he “loved” both the Tuohys and Michael Oher but lauded the family for helping a young man in trouble.. “I think it’s sad, and I certainly don’t claim to understand all the ins and outs of adoption, conservatory, all of that.
“I think it will all…whatever happens will happen, of course,” Freeze continued. “The facts will come out. But, you know, I love both sides of it. Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy did something that most families . . . . A lot of us talk about doing things, but they actually put the shoes on and pulled the boots up and got in the arena and did something. I think that’s admirable.”
The conservatorship also gave the Tuohys control over Oher’s ability to enter into contracts or business arrangements. In the business arrangement pertaining to the movieLeigh Anne Tuohy celebrates on the field after her adoptive son Michael Oher #74 of the Baltimore Ravens and the Ravens defeat the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 during Super Bowl XLVII at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on February 3, 2013, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
