Most high school kids have no problem passing mandatory drug tests, especially when they know they're coming. Maybe he'll learn a thing or two.

You get the best weed in high school.

He probably isn't the best guy to be putting around high school kids

As a high school sports coach, I would be against this. The ONLY reason he is available to be around the team is a bad reason. He can't stay off weed in order to make something of himself in the NFL.

He represents poor decision making, and I don't think he is in a position quite yet to use his mistakes as a teaching opportunity for these kids because he has yet to prove he has learned from his mistakes.

Oh. Good Lord. He smoked some weed and was dumb enough to get caught. I don't think we need to ban him from being around young men.

If anything, the fact that he is coaching some nothing HS team in Nevada rather than being in an NFL training camp readying himself for a likely starring role on a potentially record setting offense WILL serve as a pretty stark daily reminder to each kid on the team what the consequences of casual drug use can be.

Yep dumb enough to get caught.. Not once but twice. Sorry that's not a good role model for young adults wouldn't want my kids around him.

It's not necessarily about smoking weed. It's following freaking rules. Plain and simple.

As a coach I would want to teach my players discipline and leadership and Bryant embodies neither. His presence is counterproductive if you ask me.
