High School Akron Buchtel Coach Arrested

[NightmaresDad]

One man's moment of folly should not obscure the good he may have brought out of and for others in the past.

I hope that Tatum finds the help he needs to overcome his own personal demons.

So you honestly think this was just a "moment" of folly?
You think this was the first time in his life he was ever in possession of crack and MJ? Give me freakin' break.

I just hope he wasn't dealing to any players or students - but I would certainly look into that at this point.

I do agree that I hope he gets an opportunity to straighten his life out, and that maybe somebody else learns from his mistakes and won't make it themselves.

I know if my kid was on that team, I'd want to know who else, if anyone, in the organization knew about this guy's drug habit.

I think what you posted is what we've all been feeling here. I'm going with the idea that he's an addict, not a pusher. As far as the pot goes, you don't have to be an "addict." The crack leads me to believe that he is one. Hopefully, something good will come out of this "bad." Peace.

Bill Kennedy/The Plain Dealer
Akron - Buchtel High School football coach Claude Brown inspired his players to excel -- not only on the gridiron but in life. Players considered him to be a father, a mentor and a hero. More than 25 of them earned college scholarships while playing for Brown.
Now, Brown is wearing a uniform his players wouldn't want to don -- an orange jail jumpsuit. He admitted Monday to having a two-month long sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student at the school, Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards said.
The teenager and Brown, who is married, had sex at least three times between Dec. 15 and Feb. 23 , Edwards said.
