[Hoot Gibson]

Hoot, I have no issue with you.  As a matter of fact, I have always enjoyed your thoughts.  However, I will disagree.  He may be fired, but I still feel strongly that he was set up.  That is merely my opinion, and just like everyone else that has them, I have my own.  Take care, and I certainly wish you well

Anytime somebody records a private conversation and then releases it publicly, it is fair to say that the person being recorded without their knowledge was set up. I don't dispute that happened in this case. Where we may disagree is that the fact that Mays was set up does not negate what I interpret was an effort to recruit a player and an admission that he had recruited players in the past. We may never know what other evidence KHSAA uncovered in response to the recording. I thought the recording alone justified a serious penalty but never thought that it would lead to Mays being fired. Best wishes to you as well for the upcoming holidays and beyond.
