I believe what they are looking at is recruits that otherwise would not have been there.  There is a huge difference in BG and Ashland situation.  BG boiled down to an inadvertent violation of residency.  The Ashland recruiting scandal appears to have recruits that will be playing in the future.  The main goal it sounds is to eliminate this competitive edge by the recruits playing.  The only way to do that is a post season ban or make them ineligible.  Leaving options open for the kids they could stay at Ashland but choose not to play in the post season or they could transfer out with post season ban.  That definitely sounds like the most logical.

I don’t think that will happen. Ashland won’t go that route because it would be totally unfair. The coach is not coaching anymore, which I don’t agree with but it’s what it is. I wish they had taken the recommendation of the KHSAA and gone with a one month suspension for coach but they didn’t and that’s their prerogative. Or more accurately, the superintendent’s prerogative. 
 They’re not going to penalize kids for simply transferring. Just because someone transfers does not make them a “recruit” by association. They won’t make a decision just based on whether they ‘might’ have been recruited or they ‘could’ have been recruited, because most transfers are generated by parents and kids themselves. That doesn’t mean they were recruited. 

A few of you posters on here are a bit much. You’ve got your ounce of flesh. Mays is gone. He’s no longer in your way or a hindrance to you. But you fellows won’t let it go. You want to get a man down and then grind your heels into his body. He’s no longer coaching, his wife is battling cancer, and he has two kids that have grown to love the Ashland community and play sports for Ashland, and this is emotional and difficult times for them. But a few of you just keep going on and on. Now you want to “punish” the players and their fans I suppose. Get all the blood you can while you’re on a roll.  It’s really sad.

Khsaa did not make a one month recommendation for suspension!! Where do you come up with such outlandish lies?  They only said the 4 game suspension wasn’t sufficient. Like your example of the speeding ticket. It’s just the other way around. This is way worse then the BG situation.  They were found guilty of one violation. Improper benefits due living with girls coach and splitting rent. 1 bylaw violation. Mays has multiple violation and multiple kids per the letter from the Khsaa. That coach quit on his own. This is a way bigger issue then that. Still other violations the khsaa uncovered during their investigation process. I hope the kids don’t get a post season ban. The parents at the meeting all agree to that but Campbell stated he doesn’t know for sure if that wouldn’t happen. The Administration has created this and I do feel their will be sanctions against the administration and team. No one is kicking Mays while his family is going through a tough time. He created this mess for years. It just caught up with him. The timing for his family is unfortunate but it is his own creating. Logically thinking. Firing Mays does nothing to sanctions against the program for his actions and the lack of action by the administration.  Mays could go somewhere else today and coach. No sanctions follow him as of today. Next week maybe different but now.

No lies, I’ll leave that up to you spin masters and your cohorts. You are partially correct, though. The KHSAA did say that the 4 game suspension was not enough. They suggested at least a month, which if that had been December would have been 13 games. That would have been enough in my opinion, but that’s just me.
And you say you hope the kids don’t t get a post season ban (which I’m pretty certain will not happen). If that’s  true then why do you and a few more on here keep constantly bringing it up. Is it wishful thinking?? 
 I think when the administration makes their decision they will be fair and let the firing be enough. It would be difficult to ban a group of kids or a team for assuming they were recruited. I can assume a lot of things but assumption and guilt by association doesn’t carry any weight when these kind of decisions are made. Clark County won the state tournament last March with seven transfers,  four of which played quite a lot of minutes. I can’t assume they were recruited to GRC. I would need proof. Therefore they’re basically only transfers. And legal. And congrats to the Cards! Hundreds of transfers occur all across the state every year and it will
continue in the future. And you can bet the family farm that everyone of them at some point in time speak to the coach or coaches, or principal, to where they are wanting to transfer. Talented athletes just don’t suddenly show up on the door steps of schools to enroll without parents or guardians talking to whoever will be coaching their sons or daughters. I know if I had a kid transferring I would definitely want to know what kind of programs they have from summer through fall and into the season, what kind of offenses and defensive they run, and I would want to hear it from the horses mouth…the head coach. And you guys can turn your head and ignore it all you want but there’s plenty of schools in the 16th and elsewhere that have benefited from transfers, and very few of them can honestly say, “Wow, talk about luck. This 6’6 power forward just enrolled this morning…” Lol.

Khsaa did not make any recommendations of any suspension. Where are you getting that??  10 of 14 kids that currently occupy roster spots are not homegrown ashland kids. We know this. Just finished watching D&D sports network to watch the scrimmage again against BL. If you watch the end of that interview. GC kid talking about the Bath and Boyd kids. It’s sad really. Again the audio spells out a lot of insight about the Recruitment of kids. No I do not think all 10 are recruited. But we definitely know 3 we’re for sure per the audio with attempts to recruit others with money and other benefits. You really only help to prove this point by saying we had a 6’8 kid from midland show up and leave the day after we got beat in the state tournament. The very next season we get a 6’10 kid from Bath. Lol so lucky they just showed up!!

You keep mentioning their “10-14 kids” distortion, basically lie.  Mays in all his varsity coaching at Ashland had 4 transfers that played varsity basketball and only 3 of them played meaningful minutes: Porter, Carter, Marcum. That’s it. You can’t go down to the lower grades and use numbers to enhance your lame arguments as if those grade schoolers are transfers for sports. Non high school kids are moved around all the time by parents, especially in an area like Boyd and surrounding counties that have so many school districts in close proximity. You’ve got more spin that the Zag’s Timme with his post moves, lol.
