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.

I don’t think it is. I just have listened to the audio. I don’t see the entrapment. So if it was txt back and forth. Still entrapment?  I don’t feel either is. If one is then I don’t see how they both are not?  This is totally for debate sake.

Especially how do you lure someone in when they called and asked for a kid and the parent never said anything about going or wanting to go?  He imo willfully called, asked, offered, begged and was told no by the parent. 

I mean, by Websters dictionary, the definition of entrapment is: the action of luring an individual into committing a crime in order to prosecute the person for it.  So, by calling a coach back and recording it, you probably have an idea that he is about to say something pretty bad, and he will get in trouble for it. 

That’s what I’m saying. It’s not entrapment by definition. Coach called, coached begged without parent asking!  He just recorded. Now we can only speculate why he recorded it. Definitely not entrapment. Just by the fact. Nothing illegal about recording a two party call. We all know that

The parent knew (via previous communication) what was about to happen. He knew what he was doing.
