So what does Yori do here? Does she do as she has before with this type of situation, ie Wood berry.

guess i can't recall what the situation was with Woodberry? refresh my memory, please?

 

has to raise the question, "who else was in the room?"

I believe this would qualify for the Athletic Department's substance abuse policies.    Positive tests have a protocol, in stages.  Not much, if any, discretion for the coaches under the Department policy.  Obviously this wasn't a positive test, but an eyewitness account followed by a player admission.  I assume this would trigger the Department handling (vs. coach discretion), but don't know that for a fact.  First offense doesn't have severe sanctions.  If this doesn't happen again she should be fine.

My quote reply doesn't work so I have to reply this way. If this is so how did Gregory get away with his failed drug tests? Or was the reason he missed a couple of games due to the fact that he he had failed them.

thanks, HB. i was just thinking, since this is a first offense, that it would be at the coach's discretion on any type of punishment?

As far as I know the Department protocol was followed with him  on the first 2 positive tests.  He just got lucky, or didn't get tested, in December prior to the bowl game.  

[Bugeaters1]

I see.

Pretty much three strikes and your out for possession/smoking, as far as the AD is concerned, unless there's something bigger.....sales, etc

 

...unless Yori has some issue that would/could override the AD.

I do not condone the usage of marajuana.  However, it is unrealistic to expect students not to use the drug.  I would imagine there will be some team discipline but not dismissal.  Hopefully, there will not be repeat offenses though that thinking may make me somewhat of a Pollyanna.

The comparison to Woodbury is a little bit of a stretch. With Rebecca it started right away. She came in to out shape to play. A couple more issues after that. In her case it was the last straw.

I do not expect Natalie be given the hook, but with Connie I expect a pretty stout penalty.

As a father of three girls, I would demand a harsh penalty for my own daughters.

I would love the colonel to chime in on this one

Rules are rules. 

 

That said, times are changing. I'd rather my kids use cannabis than drink beer or smoke tobacco. I'm not going to endorse their doing so, but that's the truth.

This is a case of a good kid making a bad decision. It will be handled internally, a lesson will be learned, and doubt it is ever an issue again.
