The recording shows zero evidence of recruiting. For it to be that Coach Mays would have had to made the call to the dad, which he didn’t. The dad called him with info that he might transfer his eighth grade son. So Mays told him if that was his intention he was welcome. He also added that he didn’t handle transfers but others at Ashland’s system were responsible for that. Mays showed pride in his programs and bragged them up, you know….kind of like a back and forth discussion that was thought to be off the record. I’m sure dad had informed him in advance that he was recording the call Mays would have chosen his words differently and would have kept the conversation short.
Anyway, there is no smoking gun in this recording that shows recruiting or anything more than a rule infraction of talking to the parent, which has already been addressed by school administrators. 
The parent is the one at fault here, not the coach.

“I would love to get my hands on him. Now, I know that’s wrong for me to say because of where he’s at (Boyd County). But if there’s ever a time to do it, it’s right now to where he won’t have to do one ounce of KHSAA paperwork because he’s going to be an incoming freshman.”
“I would love to have him in our program… our program would change him for the better.”
“He would help us win a lot of games.”

Yeah Coach Mays wasn't trying to influence him at all 

Conversation wouldn’t have happened if Spurlock doesn’t make the call.  He baited the guy.  Shady at best

How about (since I know this against the rules) HANG UP lol. Or "let me call ya back" and DONT lol.

How about not act like a child and be a man and don't record a conversation.  Man card went out the window and he can't get it back.  He will be labeled with this from now on.  The sad part about it is that it may only hurt his son's chances to maybe play ball one day.  Real adult decision and well thought out....LOL

Ok, this guy's kid will graduated in four years and the father will probably have nothing to do with high school basketball again.  Do you think a coach that generated a level of success beyond what a school had seen in recent history through cheating would be labeled if he/she continued to coach?  What about a school that generated success through cheating, would they be labeled as cheaters for years to come?  Would an administration that condoned or even supported or overlooked an environment that was conducive to cheating be labeled as unethical for years to come?

After listening to the entire 50 min call, I am shocked and dismayed that the Daily Independent has not followed up on their June 3 article. Nate Bryan, Larry Vaught and Ryan Lemond have all weighed in, where’s the local coverage from the James A. Anderson gym? Is the DI in so deep with Ashland that they’ve been gagged?

If this was in the 15th region, David and Darryl would have a temporary emergency base set up on the school's football field.

David and Darryl have their heads so far up Pikeville rear they cant deal with anything else other than the smell. They constantly defend the cheating thats going on there, which is worse than this case, while acting like they are unbiased. Two HOMERS.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. Everyone know D&D and Pikeville doesn’t have a great working relationship.

All I know for sure is that Pikeville administration or coaching staff members havent been found "red handed" trying to contact players to recruit them, recruiting them,  be negative about their own kids in conversations with rival school parents and ask their kid to come play over them, and boast about "stripe school giving the school $10,000 dollars (that I find funny).  Until then, Pikeville is not even a mention in this conversation.
