Nebraska Volleyball's Harper Murray reflects on the coaching styles of John Cook and Dani Busboom Kelly

At a April 23, 2025, press conference with talented junior setter Bergen Reilly, Harper Murray shared her thoughts on the coaching methods of new head coach Dani Busboom Kelly and how they differed from the team's former head coach John Cook. She shared her comments via Inside Nebraska.

"I think they're still pretty similar. Dani [Busboom Kelly] still has things pretty structured but you know just the way she goes about the order of things and the way she teaches things are a little bit different but I would say practices are still pretty similar," she shared [0:34 onwards]

She continued:

"The basics are the same some of the drills are pretty similar but she does mix things up a little bit more than coach [John Cook]. I think coach was more a routine type of guy and stuck to that, and Dani mixes it up a little bit but for the most part, I would say it's pretty similar."

Murray has been selected for the Tom Osborne Citizenship Team three times throughout her notable career with the Nebraska Volleyball program.
