You don't respond to everybody, and not everybody responds to you.

You never know how the team responds to that. They can respond positively or negatively. Their players might use that as something to lean on, to try to go out and play harder, or they might go into the tank.

And we're not being as friendly as we usually are. We want to see how they respond.

So I would either not respond or respond later on.

The volunteers respond when they want to. We would be lucky to have one person respond for an emergency call.

We rested on last year's laurels. Other teams came right at us and we did not respond to that.
