Harper Murray recounts working with the new Nebraska Volleyball coach Dani Busboom Kelly in initial days

Harper Murray shed light on her experience of working with new Nebraska Volleyball head coach Dani Busboom Kelly in the initial months of the 2025 season.
In a press conference, Murray shared that she and the team were adjusting to Kelly's style of play, as it was very different from the way their former coach, John Cook, coached. She added that the spring volleyball season was for learning and having fun ahead of the regular NCAA season. She said, via Hail Varsity:
"We're still adjusting, but I mean, we knew it was going to be a work in progress. Coach (John Cook) and Danny are very different, their styles of coaching and play are a little different.
"So, I know for Bergen, some of the setters, they have had to work on some new things and our position, coaches kind of switched a little bit. So it's an adjustment but we're just trying to remember that spring's supposed to be fun and a learning time for us."
Contrastingly, Murray said that the Nebraska Volleyball training sessions of John Cook and Dani Busboom Kelly are quite similar in structure and order.
