Former Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook will join the Big Ten Network as an analyst for volleyball coverage. This announcement was made on Friday afternoon. Cook retired from his position as Nebraska volleyball coach at the end of January. He had a 722-103 record, which ranks as the best win percentage for any Division I program over the last 25 years. Cook was replaced by Dani Busboom Kelly, who will now look to lead the Huskers into a new era on the court.
In the meantime, this will be a chance for Cook to showcase his knowledge of the sport as one of the best women's volleyball coaches ever. This represents what has been a busy offseason for the coach. The Board of Regents will vote on April 11 to decide if they want to rename the court in his honor. It will certainly be interesting to get his perspective on television. If anything, his knowledge will be able to strengthen the broadcast.
