I prefer that everyone play by the rules and wished no team be forced to basically shutdown because they do things the right way.  That being said there are consequences for cheating and if true then the penalty should be very, very harsh.

Does this apply to the Boyd boys and girls teams as well?   Boys with illegal players on the roster and girls for recruiting.  Penalty should be very very harsh!  Right?

Absolutely.

If recruiting is not legal then it’s not legal, regardless if another team is perceived to do it.  When caught the punishment in this case I believe will be very severe given success resulting from this activity.  All schools either will be able to recruit or no they can’t.  The varying extent teams go to recruit (based on risk appetite) unbalanced the equality of the playing field.  The more resulting success and higher degree of recruiting will result in much harsher penalty.

I agree with you except for the highlighted above.  The amount of success absolutely has nothing to do with it.  You did it or you didn’t.  Just because a recruit or illegal player doesn’t work out like they hoped, doesn’t lessen the violation.  
The fact that Boyd has done it for the last 3 years (that I know of) and continue to sling stones over the fence blows my mind.  It must just be really hitting home that they can’t even break the rules and win.  

Recording a conversation of another man and trying to trap him is an all time low.  Shows that guy’s character. 
If he only done it to “protect his son” then why did he release it. There is no attack or question about his boy. Keep it on his phone if something were to be said. Ashland did not say anything about the player involved.  That is why it was a deliberate attempt to try and take a shot at Mays and Ashland. 

Where are the Boyd Co. Supporters now trying to prove me wrong on these allegations?  They can’t say anything to prove this is not correct because I know the 3 parties that I mentioned in my previous post.  Boyd broke the rules and and continue to point the finger at Ashland… Hypocrisy at its finest.  Smh!

Whether or not you or I agree, the amount of success achieved by breaking the rules greatly impacts the severity of the punishment by KHSAA enforcement.

It does happen.  If you think that Coach A hasn’t taken a phone call from a 8th grade players dad that does not go to Boyd you are some kinda idiot.  This is water under the bridge and nothing is going to come out of it.

Not to the extent Ashland does.

You keep repeating this same comment in many of your post but facts don’t prove your accusations. In Mays’ four completed years at Ashland he has had 4 transfers total, an average of one per year. Your comment makes it appear that he is rolling in multiple transfers every year. That’s simply not true. I don’t know the statewide statistics on it but I would imagine that for many programs 1 transfer average per year is not out of the normal. And by far the majority of all transfers into any school district are not “recruited” but come on their own for what they and their parents may deem as better opportunities for academics and athletics, or possibly job opportunities for parents. In other words, the success of a program, school and community does the so called “recruiting” for them. These situations are not always as nefarious as some want to make it sound. 
As for the phone call to the coach from the parent, it was probably not the best decision by Mays to have a conversation with the guy, but he was a parent of an 8th grader who was interested in transferring somewhere and I doubt if there’s many coaches in the state that wouldn’t have spoken to the fellow, particularly when the KHSAA at the time did not have any rule or bylaw for anyone below 9th grade with its transfer policies. I suppose the issue for which Ashland has suspended him a few games is mainly to drive a point to not do the same thing again, if a parent calls refer them to see the principal or main office personnel, which it’s my understanding that he did do that very thing, but then also had the over 30 minute conversation. 
The Ashland administrators didn’t have to do anything but they chose to self-report the call and suspend the coach a few games. However,  that is an in-house decision and was their option. In my opinion this is over and done with. Mays is coaching camps and has just finished a weekend as an assistant coach for the Kentucky All Star team. He and Ashland are moving forward.
