Havnt heard back from a coach?

Remember, this coach is likely preparing for the upcoming season and is quite busy. I don't see any reason you couldn't contact him just to let him know that you are still interested and hope to hear from him soon. JMO.

What's your graduation year?...sounds like you may be a 2012. If so, don't be too worried about it. The college coaches have been very busy since January with their teams and will be until the end of the season. Look for recruiting to crank back up this summer, especially on or just after July 1st.

I'm am a 2011 grad

As a 2011, you should definitely take the lead and contact him. IMO.

Express your interest and see how he responds. Keep moving forward with any other options you may have going on.

I agree with everything that has been said so far. The coach was probably busy with the holidays, then getting everything set for the new season. Contact him ASAP, but expect a delayed response since this is opening week for many schools.

There could be a number of reasons why this has happened.

When my son went through the process last summer and fall there were a number of coaches who just dropped of the planet after calling and e-mailing on a regular basis. Even after reaching out to them there was no further contact. This included some who had indicated that there was an offer forthcoming the next week.

Another scenario that happen to him was that late last summer a number of coaches 'heard' that he had committed to a different school which wasn't the case and stopped all communications with him. Only after he called them and found out the story did they begin contact again.

Honestly, he is not interested and I would just move on. People tend to paint the rosier picture and that's a bunch of ****. Move on and the heck with that coach and that's ok. Just don't start pleading and begging,,,not that you would mind you, but i've seen it before and if they want you they will come calling with some major full-court press.

over 30 years in Sales tells me that there are usually only 3 reasons why someone isn't calling you back.

1. personal emergency (not likely in this scenario)

2. not important, not interested or very, very low priority

3. there's something they don't want to tell you
( we like someone else, we already have our guys, etc, etc)
