Hey, don’t listen to these knuckleheads on here. They’re old as fuc$. Your coach is busy and he will get back to you. Probably focusing on family now. Be glad you don’t have a coach that micromanages your life. And don’t wear ties. And no suit, ever. Get one sport coat that fits well and screw these boomers on here. Times have changed and they’re stuck in 1991. Your coach sounds just fine, he’ll reach out. Older people still text a week later as they forget with their old age. Or he’s fighting with his wife as coaches are just easy targets for women to pick fights with.
Don't forget, you will also get old and slower. Its a matter of good ol time... F o O l

Only an ignorant young loser would say and give this type of advice. If the coach has not responded, he doesn't care if you join his team as one of many walk-ons. He or she is concerned about the scholarship recruits. Run faster, throw further or jump higher or longer if you want a response from a text.
Why is a text considered any different than a call? If anything I feel like a text would be safer given that there's a written record of the conversation
And when you interview for jobs, wear a tie and tuck your shirt in. Bring a copy of your resume and always include a cover letter.
I personally think a tie is an outdated fashion statement in any kind of an interview setting. Dress-pants, button-up with a blazer (no tie) looks much better and allows for way more flexibility to match the tone of the office, which is most likely casual or biz casual. Wearing a tie, no blazer and khakis is way too 2005. Iron your shirt, get a haircut, shave and get a good fitting blazer and you're golden.
Never understood some of the old traditions (and I am old!).
-objective?- to get a dang job duh! I'm not sending you a resume because I thought you just enjoyed reading boring 1 page summaries of employment.
cover letter? again, "I am writing you to apply for X job you posted on Y dated.. blah blah blah".. again.. they posted an opening- they need someone, you sent a resume in response of that opening.. why the letter explaining the obvious?
Should I be worried? I just talked to him on the phone last week.
You know that last weekend was Bryan Clay / Mt SAC right? Most coaches were traveling Tuesday through Sunday with 10-50 athletes and got probably 4-6 hours of sleep a night all week, leading immediately into Easter... Odds are he just missed your message. Shoot him another message. I wouldn't read into it that much.

This.
If your commitment has not been finalized or depends in some way on his response, I would send a follow-up email (or call) with a specific question. E.g.
"Hope you've had a good Easter. I just wanted to follow up and mention that I'm ready to commit to [program]. We talked on the phone last week and how [whatever he's told you about scholarship/spot on the team/walk-on status]. Is that still the case? If so, I'll go ahead and accept the offer. Thanks so much, and I'm excited to go to [program] next year and run for you!"
If you're going to his university regardless of his response, you can be a little more relaxed about contacting him, but it would still be a good idea to follow up once or twice just to make sure he knows to expect you.
There could be a few reasons why the coach has not responded to your text. They may be busy or they may not have seen your message. If you do not receive a response after a few days, you may want to reach out to the coach again or try contacting them through a different method.
