Baseball Coach Fired After Rejecting Colorado Recruit Over State’s Pot Laws

That was the message that got a Texas university’s head baseball coach fired on Thursday, after it was revealed that he’d turned away a potential Colorado recruit on the grounds that athletes from that state have “trouble passing our drug test.”

Gavin Bell, a high school senior in Aurora, Colorado, said he received that stunning response from Texas Wesleyan University coach Mike Jeffcoat when he inquired about the school’s athletics program.

Instead of sending information, Jeffcoat thanked Bell for his interest but told him to look elsewhere.
