Harper Murray reflects on adjusting under Nebraska Volleyball's new head coach, Dani Busboom Kelly

The four-time AVCA East Region Coach of the Year, Dani Busboom Kelly, was named the head coach of the Nebraska Volleyball team in January 2025. During her press conference with Bergen Reilly, Murray reflected on the team adjusting to Busboom Kelly's approach.
"We're still adjusting, I mean we knew it was going to be a work in progress coach [John Cook] and Dani [Busboom Kelly] are very different, their styles of coaching and styles of play are a little different. So, I know for Bergen some of the setters, they've had to work on some new things and our position coaches kind of switched around a little bit," she shared via Hail Varsity's YouTube channel [0:06 onwards]
She continued,
"We're just trying to remember that spring's supposed to be fun and a learning time for us. So that's kind of what we're sticking to but we're still working through some things that are different."
Murray won the gold medal with the U.S. Girls U19 Team at the 2022 Pan American Cup, registering thirteen kills and two blocks in the championship match. She also received the tournament's 'Best Spiker' award.
