[Hoot Gibson]

Very well said.  We all know this is a couple Boyd Team dads that are covering the fact this guy was shopping his kid around.  Nobody bit and feelings were hurt.  The phone conversation happened but he was promised nothing and daddy had a hard time with that.  
The dad did call Mays. (Whether it was the initial call or a call back … doesn’t matter.  He called! And that is a KHSAA violation as well.). If we are going to start demanding the rules are followed, then he/Boyd Co. should pay the fiddler as well.  WHAT ADULT SECRETLY RECORDS A CALL!  I wouldn’t show my face again.

Don’t say us like you are a Tomcat!  We all know where you are from Mr. Lion!  No need to recruit.  From what I hear, he was ran off!   You should be embarrassed of your school.  Daddy threw his man card out the window in front of the whole state!

Having a coach who calls numerous kids over the tristate to play in front of homegrown kids is pathetic. Mays called it’s on the audio. Mays admitted to trying recruit other kids. It’s on the audio. His assistant coach handling the recruitment of the other bc kid. It’s on the audio. All facts!  a ton of other violations he openly just admits too. All facts. Appy kitty you just throwing lies as well. You definitely don’t have a kid that plays. All the parents are upset that are from here. Embarrassing isn’t even a word for it. I guess your definition of man would be selling your kids out in front of the entire state to beg our biggest rival kids to come here and play over ashland kids. Just glad you don’t have a kid that plays. Mays would recruit over him as well. When will recruiting stop?  Never if he remains! Feel sorry for kids that go through our buddy league to middle school aspiring to be a tomcat. Then have this guy recruit over you due to being a liability or can’t hit meaningful shots. SMH wow.

You do realize that the accusing school is guilty of the same thing right?   And you can write a book on the girls team.  It is just not recorded.  Secretly recording another grown man is a whole other level of wrong in my book.  He should be liable for doing that.  My friends would stop talking to me if I even mentioned that trash.  I am not hearing this second hand… I know and seen it with my own eyes.  No I will not say who it was because it  involves kids.  Hitting the record button is pathetic.  
If you are successful and win, you have a big target on your back.  Rather than develop your team, it is much easier to try and ruin or dismantle the successful one.  If they change the culture out there and stop letting this bully shove people around, winning will take care of itself.  They have good players.  Trying to run off the coach was definitely not a good way to start!  Lol.  Misery loves company.

If the accusing school has any proof that it happens. It should be turned in. I don’t live in a class house. We are dead wrong for allowing this guy to still represent Ashland. Cheaters, cons, and criminals get caught everyday. To have a man come here and actively recruit is beyond gutless. To hear him speak for 5 min you realize what a con. I haven’t seen him win here with ashland kids. That would be a nice welcomed change. We all would love to see here. Would you really want your kid playing for him? After listening to him sell his kids out!! What a great man!  What a winner!  Only by your definition. It’s funny you have a problem with the person who mays called to solicit for a recruit but not mays himself. It’s like saying you are mad at the home owner when they catch the thief!!! Poor logic

Mays has admitted that he said to much and owned up to it. People make mistakes.  I never said that I didn’t have a problem what happened. I have a problem with a grown man calling and recording an adult conversation without consent.  Gutless!  
On the recording the dad made the call.  Right or wrong, that is all we know. Unless you are him.  Then that would create a whole new level of embarrassment!  
I have daughters but I would most definitely let my kids play for him.  He is a good man. Name a better coach in the 16th or maybe the state.  My girls were taught to compete and work hard.  Not hide behind a phone recording to try and give them an edge.  
My logic is on point.  My kids play to win.  They are not soft and don’t expect to get a KHSAA Handout to win a game.  Mays has 4 consecutive regional titles.  He is a good dude and he wins.  Stop trying to act like the guy is a monster.  He let the idiot trap him.  He admitted he was wrong.  What more do you want?  Sounds like something personal outside of basketball to me. Get over it.

There is no better recruiter in northeastern Kentucky than Mays. Most schools look the other way while "friends of the program" do their dirty work. Not Coach Mays, by his own admission, he takes the bull by the horns and gets his hands dirty. Transparency is a good thing but he sounded like a fisherman talking about the big fish that got away during the recruiting call. Now we will see what, if anything, the KHSAA will have to say about Coach Mays ignoring its rules.
