Consider this; a few months ago in an interview on Mytowntv Ashland's best player said that Coach Mays planted the idea of reclassifying as a senior. He said he initially thought it was crazy but after praying about it over time he changed his mind. Coach Mays and the counselors at the high school made it happen. Seems to me that if a coach was truly so obsessed with winning by recruiting top level players that he wouldn't encourage his best player to leave.

A person makes a statement that he/she knows is going public compared to what people do or say behind closed doors (I.e. like a conversation between two people over phone) is a different ballgame.  Politicians always make inspiring public statements, but don’t always make the most ethical decisions behind closed doors.
I guess my point is this is irrelevant if the recording spells out recruitment.

I'm not even saying the coach is a bad guy.  This thread is about recruiting violations.  All good people sometimes do things that they should not, and I believe in forgiveness.  That is irrelevant to KHSAA enforcement.
