The tri-state area is worse off without Jason Mays living in it.  Ashland will be fine and have a competitive team going forward, but Mays had a vision for their program exceeding what any of their previous coaches could offer.  His work ethic put other area coaches to shame.  They hated him for it.  Baller hated him because he apparently wouldn’t play his son.  However, from Baller’s comments on here about Bonner turning over his locker room to 2 parents, I can’t imagine the honeymoon with Bonner will last long either.

I guess that’s one way of looking at it. Tri state kids are safe from a coach poaching players. I don’t hate Mays. I hate what Mays is and stands for. His work is making calls and txt to kids. If that is out working coaches. I just have a different opinion and a moral compass. I couldn’t do what he did to my own players if I was the coach. Wish our boys luck as they leave tomorrow. Mays is no longer here!! Ashland is better for it. As far as Bonner. He won’t have to worry about the two dads.  They will be in MOCO in a few months.

It’s unbelievable how two families would pull up stakes and follow a terrible coach for their son to play basketball at another school 90 miles away. One of those dads is a good friend of mine and I don’t think he will move there just due to his work situation, but stranger things have happened. If people follow Mays I think that just shows what kind of coach he really is.

How many user names to you think you need on here? After a while you’re just talking back and forth to yourself, answering your own questions, lol.

I’ll tell you what kind of coach Mays is, he’s a superb coach that works his butt off and knows how to develop and make winners out of young men wanting to reach their full potential in basketball. I can well understand why players and their parents are attracted to his program. He knows his stuff and produces. He makes kids better on the court and off. I watched one of his former players (who could still have been eligible this year at Ashland but Mays advised him to go on to college, that he was more than ready) score 14 points and help Liberty University defeat Villanova last night in the NIT. He has players that he coached and developed at Morehead State, Cedarville, Ohio University, Transylvania, and Robinson is also playing college but I think he transferred from Campbellsville. I think if you interviewed any of these young men they would give a lot of credit to their college basketball readiness to Jason Mays. He has a college coaching background and knows the ins and outs of what it takes to play at that level. And not every player will play college but he got them to be the best they could be as a high school player. He is one of the top coaches in Kentucky and Montgomery County’s gain is a big loss for the Ashland community.
