Nebraska volleyball's former coach John Cook opened up about transferring the coaching duties to Dani Busboom Kelly
After coaching the Nebraska volleyball team for 25 years, John Cook announced his retirement on January 29, this year. Shortly after his retirement, Dani Busboom Kelly was named the new head coach of the Huskers. In a conversation with Hurrdat Sports, Cook made his feelings known about Busboom Kelly taking over the coaching duties.
"I wanted to retire when I was having a lot of fun and not when,' Oh God, I can't stand this anymore, so it's time to get out.' I was waiting for that, and I wanted to have that feeling that makes it easier to walk away knowing that this is a great place, we have a great group and Dani is all about having fun and she does it in a different way but her players love her, she does fun things with them that I've watched over the last several years. She'll keep that going," John Cook said. (10:15 onwards)
