Committed athlete stops getting responses from coach

I'm a 2017 utility player. A D2 offered to me in early April. I verbally committed to the school in late May. I email or text coach about every 2 weeks. Coach told me he/she would watch me play in a showcase 2 weeks ago. I sent game times/locations. Coach didn't show (unless he/she was well hidden from team administrator). I haven't received any responses from the coach since. What do I do? I really want to attend this school, but I hope I haven't wasted the month of June and part of July by not pursuing other colleges. My mom says I'm over-reacting. I hope that is the case. I'm just really nervous.

Have you tried to contact the coach since the tournament? I would try to get in touch with them asap to get a "warm and fuzzy" that everything is still good!

Pick up the phone, dial the coach's number and say Hi Coach, I wanted to check in with you to see how your summer is going. This is what is going on with me....

Let us know how it goes!!!

Definitely call, maybe their was a family emergency or they are on vacation. If there is no response maybe try an assistants number and reach out to them as well.

I have texted twice in the last week. I'm going to wait two more days and I will call.

It's a test!!!! They want to make sure you know how to use all forms of communications. Text, email, Facebook, Twitter, Snap Chat, Pokemon Go and the dreaded actual old timey antiquated phone call. Last resort...Smoke signals!

Funny!!!

Being in my early 40's here's my take...communicating with someone about something as important as this, a text would be my last resort of communication.
But that shows the generation I am from. Kids communicate by text way more than adults do, when it comes to important matters such as this.
Calling the coach would be your best bet.
Good luck!

It really depends on the coach. My DD is talking to 2 different D2's to transfer to. She asked the coaches how they preferred to be contacted. 1 said she preferred to be contacted by phone and 2 said they preferred emails.

Coach said he/she was best reached by text. That is why I'm nervous.
