The fact: he messed up

Another fact: KHSAA just had a similar situation (except the kid actually attended the school and played) with bowling green. If you want a standard punishment/recommendation that will happen.. that’s the one to look to. Pretty sure their HC is the same guy and no wins are stripped.

Ashland will be “closely” monitored by the KHSAA IF anything happens. If it’s anything worse then they didn’t punish them and Bowling Green equally. 

Mays is dumb for talking that long and the Dad is a snake who I’ve never heard anyone praise. Hope that this situation blows over for the kid, cant imagine what all he’s gonna have to deal with on a personal level for the next 4 years because of this. Great young player!

Big difference.  An individual admitted to knowing and willing violating recruiting rules and had for years while recruiting a kid from rival school.  This is not an muddy water eligibility issue with a transfer.  

Statement on Bowling Green:

Other than an inadvertent violation of a residency issue based on a rules interpretation, there were no players deemed ineligible and as important no boys basketball coaches or high school administrators found to have done anything wrong during that season or at any other time.

Tremendous difference.

I wouldn’t say he admitted to anything other than talking to Bell, Spurlock, and a conversation with Deboard parents. Which there’s no physical evidence of any of that besides talking to a kids parent who didn’t ever enroll (spurlock)

Stating that kids enrolled before they became high school students to become eligible is not proof of recruiting, it’s just a fact. He never said he told them to do that.

Now don’t get me wrong, I do believe there’s some shady stuff happen. But as far as what they can actually prove I don’t believe the punishment will be what people will think.

The Dad won’t be happy with the results, Mays will keep his job.

You are correct I’ve not heard that he admitted anything.  I’m guessing because it’s in black and white on a RECORDING.
