Listen Baller, I’m not going to go back and forth with you but you have told one inaccuracy  after another throughout your posts in different threads. I think you probably have a personal reason for being so invested in this situation and it has nothing to do with teams and so forth but probably more individual based. I hope things work out for you so you will be happy, along with a few others on here. Mays is now gone from the sideline.

Coach Mays will be okay. I wish him well. I’m sure he will land somewhere else in the future. Right now his concern is taking care of his wife who battling serious health issues. I’m sure that is his major focus, along with being a good dad to his two kids.
Ashland is in good hands with Coach Bonner. He is a super nice person and a heck of a coach. And Mays will eventually end up in another program, maybe college but could be another high school. That’s to see.
I wish you and yours good day and I am finished with this subject and will move on to watching by favorite sport, high school basketball, through as many games as I can attend and also stream.

I’m sure Mays will find a spot somewhere.  On the other hand, Bonner (nice guy or not), will have withstand the remaining enforcement and fallout.  The program will be going back to development and x and o coaching instead of marketing and recruiting.  This takes more than just being a nice guy.  I’m not saying he isn’t capable but just being realistic.

I don’t know Bonner’s capabilities?  Is he this type of coach?

Will he be able to develop the existing players assuming some current players are ineligible or move because they have a post season ban?  Can this be answered by someone that is familiar with the program?

He is capable of developing kids. He knows the Ashland kids really well. Since elementary. As for the aftermath of Mays recruitment for the past 3 seasons. He ran some kids off because of it. Some that are on the current roster that are playing football that were considering not playing for obvious reason. Three homegrown kids. They are now without question playing with his removal. As far as khsaa sanctions still to come or a couple that could possibly be deemed ineligible. IDK? We will know next week. Everyone is just wishing they who decide so we all can continue to put this behind us and just deal with whatever is handed down. My question is this! Mays was fired as head coach but goes down the road to whatever high school and get hired and picks up where he left off recruiting. However, if khsaa imposes sanctions on Ashland. Example post season ban or fines or both. He gets to continue coaching high school while Ashland is left to feel the brunt of his wrong doing?? That’s the real question IMO

The fundamental problem with all of this is the unfairness to schools that abide by the rules.  By continuing on, business as usual at Ashland, the program and administration would benefit greatly from this past recruitment.  Don’t prevent these recruited players from playing, but follow the rules and allow play at the school district they originally played in while executing a post season ban allowing them to stay put and still play at Ashland.  The administration that allowed this to go on will not be glorified for continued success based on recruiting.
