Indeed, if you go around having drunk sex a lot, don't be surprised when you wake up to a rape investigation one day.

As GrahamBurglar said, I was referring to studies where they've shown that 16 hours without sleep impairs you as much as driving with a .08 BAC. Stiles had been without sleep for far longer than that at this time, and had been consistently under sleeping for weeks. He was in an even worse position than someone who was 'just on the line' of legal intoxication as far as his impairment. He was comparable to someone who had been falling down, no clue what going on around them drunk, or date raped drugged.

Malia was there because anyone who had been living in the wilderness for half their lives would've been put in a psych ward to reintegrate them into society. To have them in a safe, secure place, for her to hopefully tell them what had happened to her and where she had been. And as her story was she turned into a coyote and lived off the land for 8-9 years, they rightfully would've said she snapped from trauma. It wasn't simply because she had anger management issues.

As far as trying to get her sports eligible, that still doesn't make sense. Putting her in classes she would have no way of comprehending, and passing, won't help that. Also, I wasn't aware that people in special education weren't eligible for participation? Why that almost seems like discrimination, in our litigious society. Besides which, we've seen no indication since then that Coach still wants her for anything. The last episode would've been the perfect pot to fit that in, but they went with Kira getting in the team instead of Malia.
