Pre-draft

Coaching career

In 2016 as head coach for the Augustus F. Hawkins High School, James was fired for using ineligible players.

In 2021 as coach for Inglewood High School, he received criticism of unsportsmanlike conduct for allowing his team to run up a game to the score of 106-0. The most controversial move came when Coach James went for a two-point conversion when the team was already up 104-0. "How can the Coaching staff of Inglewood High School California feel good about themselves?" quoted the legendary sports announcer Dick Vitale on Twitter.
