[16thregionballer]

The suspension may be increased to possibly 7-10 games or maybe the month of December, which would make 13 games (which I think would be very extreme), but imo the coach will not be out the entire season. He hasn’t done that much of a violation to merit that level of a penalty. 
It’s sad really. He was in South Carolina with his son on a baseball trip in April when he receives the famous call from the dad pretending that he wanted to bring his 8th grade son to Ashland. Coach got drawn into a conversation that I’m sure looking back he knows he should have referred dad to the principal or guidance counselor and said goodbye. He does not have a history of many transfers. Four in his first four complete years of coaching. For posters to paint him as a blatant “recruiter” is not accurate (and you’re not one of them doing that 16thregioner). Ashland’s boys basketball’s amount of transfers is small potatoes compared to other schools around the state, including the 16th region. But coach broke a rule discussing the kid with the dad and it looks like penalties may be the result.
I think the dad could also be in legal problems too if Mays wants to pursue it. It’s one thing to tape a conversation but when you do it with a preconceived reasons to set up the other party and then turn it over to social media and others then that changes everything. The ironical thing about it from what I hear is the dad was wanting his kid at Ashland as far back as last year because of another player at Boyd but when that player came to Ashland in the spring that evidently infuriated the dad. And so he set in motion his scheme. I suppose we will know if he’s successful in his efforts when we see what the KHSAA and the school decides, probably sometime this week.

Reality check headed your way.  

can anybody please tell me what Rose Hill’s punishment was years ago?

I don’t know who your source is but I don’t think the punishment is going to be as severe as you’re implying. From what I hear maybe 8-10 games, somewhere in that neighborhood. I think if that’s true it is pretty overboard for what occurred but I’m sure Coach will do what they say and will learn from it.

You saying coach mays will do what they tell him now. SMH. After he got caught on multiple violations per the letter. It isn’t one kid. It isn’t one instance. Just so you are actually told the truth. It’s funny how they immediately let the baseball coach go for an alleged violation but double down with mays. Why do you think that is?

Because in order for it to be at the level of recruiting violation that you would like to see it interpreted Mays would have had to have made the call to the dad, and he didn’t. The dad called and offered his son as a possible transfer and Mays told him he was welcome to the program and explained the program. And that is a violation but not at the same level as if he placed the call asking a parent to bring their son to Ashland. I’m sure the KHSAA will take that into consideration. That’s why it will not be a season ending sanction for him or released as coach by the school. What he did was technically a violation but due to him not being the originator of the call that makes a big difference. And I also believe the KHSAA will take into consideration the nature of what the dad did was out of personal anger as a motive. That’s just my take.

Honey just read bylaw 16. It doesn’t matter who originated the phone call. FYI Mays did. You will see that here in a few weeks when this decision is made among other kids and violations. Listening to audio the dad never once asked about bringing his kid to Ashland. Not one time asked. Idk why you continue to say it. It’s on the audio
