Was it entrapment? Yes. However, Coach Mays could've chosen to not engage in the conversation, and told him that if he was interested in moving his kid to Ashland, he needs to speak to the Athletic Director or Principal.  I know for a fact that is how most schools tell their coaches to handle a phone call like that.  He slipped up, and is paying for it.  Does NOT make what the parent did right, by any means, but parents don't abide by KHSAA by-laws, coaches do.

How was it entrapment? Coach called parent. Begged parent to bring kid to Ashland?  I’m missing something.

The parent called him back and didn't have to. And had it recorded to get him in trouble. That's the definition of entrapment.  BUT....the coach did EVERYTHING wrong after he answered the phone lol.  All I'm saying is, If the coach had handled it correctly he would not be in trouble.  Trust me this post isn't a defense of Coach Mays in any way lol.
