Reply to "Notifying Other Coaches of Commitment"

Mine had a number of offers. At the last minute, a P5 school two hours from home entered the picture. We scheduled a last round of visits, with Iowa being the last one planned. One coach, who we really liked, said to son he needed to know one way or another within a week. Son told him he had a couple of visits scheduled and would not make a decision until after that. Coach said "I hope you understand that I have to do what's best for my school and that may mean offering your money to others. If someone takes it, it's gone. This is business."

Son replied — "i agree, it is business. I like you a lot, I like your school a lot. But I have to do the right thing for me and that means exploring all my options and keeping my promises to other schools."

It was the moment I saw him go from being a kid to being a mature adult.
