Interestingly, only one coach (out of 12) declined her request/offer for a zoom. And instead he suggested talking to students on the team and provided their contact details for her.
A few weeks later there was a (insert name of sport@name of school) group zoom that she joined. The coach hosted the zoom and at the beginning mentioned “So good to see so many of you here. I’ve zoomed with quite a few of you”. So we got a loud and clear message from that coach as to how much effort he’ll be putting behind daughter’s application!
