DD is a 2017 committed to a D2. There was a D3 that was DD's front runner for a long time. As excited as she was to commit, she hurt to tell the other school that she had decided to go another direction. She felt like the Coach of the D3 was rude when she told them about her commitment. She cried over thinking that she made someone "mad" with her decision. I know she is a stressed teenage girl, with tender emotions. I told her that it's no different than the coaches who told her thanks, but no thanks.
So, does anyone have good stories about a similar situation? I know she can't be the only one to experience this. Should she respond to the D3 Coach? She doesn't want to burn any bridges? Especially considering that she recommended the D3 to friends who are still in the process.
