It's a matter of context. For him, it might be the best option. For a young athlete training for football & overall size, free form squats would probably be best.

Stunted growth comes from injury, not the exercise itself. It's like if I told you that soccer causes stunted growth. Can you injure yourself & stunt your growth by playing soccer? Of course. Was it the sport itself that caused the problem? No, it was the fat kid who sat on you.
As far as probabilities go, as long as you use proper form, you're more likely to injure yourself playing football than lifting weights.

That stunting growth stuff is all BS. I've been lifting weights since I was 12 and I'm 14 now and 6 feet. Just don't do anything dumb while lifting so you won't have a growth plate fracture.
Modern bodybuilding is ritual, religion, sport, art, and science, awash in Western chemistry and mathematics. Defying nature, it surpasses it.
