Why does everyone keep focusing on all these other schools and coaches that didnt slip up and get caught. This coach broke the rules, got busted, and got fired. Has nothing to do with "all the other coaches around the state"

I think it’s because some are wanting to make it appear that Jason was a big time recruiter for transfers when he wasn’t. That he couldn’t have success without it, which his first region title proves that inaccurate.  He had 4, and only 3 played. And that’s in four seasons. As far as “slipping up”, there’s a huge bunch of coaches out there in the regions, including your 16th, that are so happy a parent didn’t audio them, and may be worried that there are a few audios out there that they don’t know about, lol. The three players that have impacted Ashland since Jason has been there we’re not recruited. Porter came to Ashland on his own. His family liked Ashland and he had played summer AAU with Cole Villers and became friends. Carter was not recruited either. His parents sent him to Ashland from the 8th grade, which in those days were automatic eligible. I don’t know about Marcum but his dad or mom was a doctor and worked at the hospital in Ashland. I’m sure the dad would not have come to Ashland if they had not wanted to. They moved and their son was legal. I think their plans were to move on to Florida after he graduated but I don’t know if that happened or not. So regardless, Jason’s success at Ashland has not been due to his “recruiting”. He joked with the guy on the audio about the Russell kid but he was only kidding. I think the player had at one time thought about coming to Ashland and was told he should stay where he was. Jason made a joke on the audio, “after he scored 30 against us I guess I should have gone after him harder”. But he was only being factious. He was in South Carolina with his son at a baseball game and was probably in a relaxed way. The season was over and this guy was talking friendly and saying things like he liked the way Jason coached and how he developed his players. I’ve done that kind of chit chat and ramble on, everyone does, and sometimes things come out not exactly what you meant but it usually is no big deal. But it is if the caller has nefarious intentions, which this fellow did. His intentions was to do exactly what he did, and accomplished. Now the biggest nemesis is out of the way of other 16th schools, his included. 
It’s my understanding what he did is legal in Kentucky, you can audio tape someone without their knowledge. However, you can not later use that audio for malicious intent to defame and do damage to the receiver of that call. And that’s what this guy did. He made sure the tape was sent to social media and others. That kind of changes the ball game imo if Jason Mays wants to pursue it. He may not but if he does he may have a good chance of winning a decision against the caller in Civil Court. That’s just my opinion.

What kind of joke is this? PCC & GRC make Jason look like a choir boy. Jason has only had 3 or 4 transfers since he has been at Ashland. PCC & GRC do more than that in 1 year. Jason Mayes came in and wrecked the 16th region, he has completely dominated all 4yrs he has been there. Everyone hates a winner I guess

I agree. 
As far as players playing meaningful minutes in his 4 years as Ashland head coach he only had 3 transfers that did. And there were only 4 transfers in all…..in 4 years. Someone mentioned there were transfers in the elementary and I don’t know about that, but if so that hasn’t help Jason in his present W-L record and championships. He also didn’t have a single transfer his first year when the Tomcats won the region and also one game at State.

By far the majority of transfers all over the state, and there’s hundreds in all sports, the transfer is originated by the parents, not the coaches. Coaches don’t pick up the phone and say, “Hey Mr Smith, man I was just sitting here thinking how good our team could be if you would consider moving your son/daughter to our school….”  That kind of conversation doesn’t happen, or very rarely does. If these Jason haters on here think that all the transfers throughout Kentucky just showed up suddenly at the front door of their new school,  they are badly mistaken. You can bet your last nickel that there have been numerous conversations between the parents and coaches before the transfer, and the first contacts were made by the parents. Parents want to know the system and coaches explain it to them, who to see to do the paper work process, things about the academics, and they welcome them to the community. That routine, which is parent generated to kick start it, happens all over the state and that includes the 16th region. But it leads to multiple conversations with the coach or his staff. Some of these posters with their mud slinging are most likely fans of schools that have benefited greatly from such transfers in basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, soccer, etc. But they won’t discuss that, lol. Someone had a list in the big thread of all the successes and championships that had been accomplished by different 16th schools in the last 10 years by adding numerous transfers to get them over the hump and to the winner circles. But since it’s their favorite school that benefits that little snippet will be brushed aside. ? The big thread was so full of hypocrites making comments it was shameful.

You do understand if you did what your implying if you were a coach. You’d be at the house with Mays. Currently 9 of 14 kids on todays roster are transfers. You’re absolutely right I don’t support a cheater who messes over his own homegrown kids. Never will. Bonner is not that kinda guy imo. Step in the right direction

So you’re saying he had 9-14 transfers on his high school team, 9-12, in his years of coaching at Ashland. I don’t think that’s accurate and you know it. It’s hyperbole, which is pretty standard for you.  Elementary kids move around all the time. Some of the ones you are talking about probably transferred to Ashland before Jason even got the high school varsity job. But they definitely haven’t had any impact on his varsity success at the school. 
So stop deflecting and conjuring up things that have nothing to do with Jason. I do know for a fact that every high school player that he coached at Ashland was not recruited. All four came to Ashland on their own decisions. If you don’t believe that then pick the phone up and call Porter, Carter, Marcum and Mayor and hear their accounts of it. 
So when it comes to the bottom line the accusation is that “recruits” are the only reason Jason won in his time as coach. Well , as it turns out none of his 3 transfers in 4 years that saw key playing minutes were recruited. They came on their own because they liked Coach Mays and the school. He knows how to develop players and has around 7 in the college ranks playing right now.
