And another story I remember when I was an assistant coach, we were having a team meeting, probably discussing a few things and it was when Lauren [Cook] was playing and she told the team, 'You guys have no idea how much my dad loves you and how much time he spends here'.""And I will never forget that as an assistant at the time and now a head coach, because to be a great coach to give to our sport, you have to be incredibly selfless. And again, this [statue] wouldn't be here without the amazing quality of selflessness that John has."Lauren Cook played for the Nebraska Volleyball team from 2010 to 2012.
