A few gems from my JC daze:
Night before state meet, hotel stairs. Some sprinters are smoking a blunt. Head coach sees and says to other coach, "they've probably been smoking all season. No sense in stopping them now."
Few years later at Stanford Invite. Sprinter has a bad race the first day. Tells assistant coach, "Had a bad race because I didn't smoke before." Next day same assistant gives him van keys and tells him do what you need to do.
The kid HOT BOXES the school van!
4x400 runners are waiting to be brought out to the track. Same kid looks down and tells his teammates he's not wearing the right shorts and runs off to get them. 4x400 runners brought out to the track. Our team runs the first 3 legs and Dnf's.
State meet team meeting in hotel room. Smells like weed. Someone is holding or they just smoked. Elephant in the room, nobody says anything.
That's just the athletes. Plenty more stories about coaches showing up to practice or meets drunk, stoned, coked out.
