[Ky1976]

Ok…what do you think will happen then?  Has a parent ever called and recorded a coach in Kentucky before?  Is there any precedent for this to know what to expect?  I’ve never heard of anything like it happening before.

Socrates has had too much hemlock. He’s trying his best to frame Ashland as cheaters that can’t succeed without transfers. He knows it’s BS but he’s like a Flat Earther, he will argue a silly point regardless of the facts and stats. 
Someone transfers into Ashland and regardless of the reason, parents change jobs as with Marcum 2 years ago, or an 8th grader decides he wants to go to Ashland, as with Carter,…..regardless of the legitimacy of the reasons, fellows like Socrates here are such haters of Ashland that they will still say “you’re cheaters”, no matter what. Lol. It’s not true and he knows it, but if he spits and spats than nonsense like that on here enough he feels he may sway a few people. Or maybe it just gives him inner peace. 
According to him Mays never had anything to do with Villers, Sellars, Bradley, Robinson and all the other homegrown players that won the region in ‘19 and one game at state. He never had anything to do with developing Porter, Conley, Atkins, or any of his players in his 4 years at Ashland and 3 other region titles. They just did it on their own, or he was able to get by because in his 4 years so far he has picked up 1 player average per year through transfer, which pales in comparison with other schools around the state. But that, I suppose, put him over the top. 
If I happen to run into Mays I will tell him to take a player development course as soon as possible. ?

Really?  Ashland just headlined the sports section of the ADI for SELF REPORTING rules violations and I'm the flat earther for saying they cheated....Think about that a second.  Gotta love that reasonable Ashland fanbase.

Socrates, self-reporting is not an admission of wrongdoing or guilt by the school officials. It is basically standard protocol when something like this occurs, in this case a parent calling a school’s coach and secretly recording a conversation that said parent generated. It is saying they are making a report of the incident since the coach did actually talk to the fellow, which I suppose they felt necessary even though they didn’t hear any evidence of wrongdoing. Coach Mays is still coach and is presently running basketball camps this month as well as being one of the coaches for the Kentucky-Indiana All Star games. Basically self-reporting is reviewing and passing it on up the chain for review. It’s standard procedure. Nothing more.

You may convince some Ashland homers that is the case, but outside of that small population you would get laughed out of the room with that explanation.  And you say I am a flat earther, lol.

They self reported violations.  The school itself suspended the coach for games.  This is headline news.  This rarely happens.  KHSAA will review and as always, I would expect the actual penalty for cheating resulting in success to be much harsher.  

Why do I expect a harsh penalty?  If it isn’t a harsh penalty all schools will go all in on recruiting if the penalty was only a few games suspension.  This is what they are defending against. When evaluating a punishment this is how the KHSAA is looking at it.

Actually it happens all the time.  Parent contacts coach of another school and they talk.  What don’t happen is parent records the conversation and then turns Coach in to the administration of parents school.
