[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 154526, member: 1640"] To save time I did not quote your entire post. It is a shame that this happened to Dennis. I hate it for him. I hate that we have pretty antiquated laws about marijuana in this country. But I do not fault the coach. Console yourself with this thought. The coach is not a prude and the coach is not someone who has lived under a rock. He knows what kids do. But he has rules. One way to understand those rules is to say, "Don't be stupid and don't get caught doing something that will embarrass the team and the school." Another way to understand the rules is to say to the student athlete, "You are in the public eye and you are going to be judged by a higher standard than the average student. The question is not whether that is fair or not; the only question is whether or not you can sacrifice personal privilege for the sake of the team." One more consolation for you. The coach gives kids like this more than one chance. If the kid can't take the hint after the first couple of infractions then he can't handle the discipline that it takes to play D1 football. Everyone knows the rules going in. And they can't be "bent" indefinitely. When you break the rules the consequences are well known. [/QUOTE]
