It is said that for every year Mrs Hames is on this earth, her eyelashes grow one centimeter. This joke is so 2019.

None of the beach matches in Lincoln are open to the public. Are you up to going to Texas/Hawaii/Cali? lol
Really? What's the reasoning for that?
Avid is sorta correct - there's zero room for spectators. The sand facility is in the VB team's weight room in the Hawks Championship Center just north of the football stadium. Here's a link to the facility. be sure to take the VR tour. LINK

Not sure if the tight quarters would allow it, but video coverage, even delayed utube video, could probably make the program some $$. Seems like I remember JC making a comment on this as a future possibilty, but maybe it was someone else and/or about the spring game.
Obviously interest, 75 pages here and its still January.

Happy birthday to my birthday twin (though we're one year apart), Nicklin Hames! It is said that for every year Mrs Hames is on this earth, her eyelashes grow one centimeter. . LOL, those eyelashes to become a story on their own

I wonder how Banwarth will do down in Mississppi as head coach? Quite a change from the Nebraska volleyball scene I'll say.

I wonder how Banwarth will do down in Mississppi She walked on to one of the top volleyball programs in the country. She worked her tail off to earn the starting DS/L position. She kicked butt her whole college career. She dealt with not being recognized as the best college Libero her senior year with aplomb. She got a nod to the Olympic team. She busted butt to earn the starting spot at the highest level of her playing career. She kicked ass the whole time she was at the Olympic level. After all that, she took a lowly coaching position. She learned the coaching game from the bottom up. She parlayed that knowledge into a side piece back with her old college coach, who knew her as a non-scholarship n00b. Despite that, her tough-as-nails college coach hired her. Named her Assistant Coach. Sat beside her on the bench as that big-time team bashed through the toughest conference. Won a couple things. While doing that, she watched film and surveyed talent and took trips and made connections. She brought in a couple-three pretty decent prospects to the top volleyball program in the land (suck it, trees). I mean... eh. She's OK. She'll probably do a bit fine down there.

Yes, she was a great player and assistant coach. I wasn't questioning her ability of course. But I don't know about the volleyball scene down in the deep south which might be rather different to Nebraska. She may have to adjust to that.

Earlier this year on one of his weekly radio shows he said he has wanted and keeps trying to get a sand game played inside pba the day or weekend of spring fb game but it never works

She's gonna do great. She brings the same energy to recruiting that she did to her game; hardworking and passionate. She knows she has to create a culture down there and she's already working around the clock to do it. She's the type of coach that instills belief into her players and makes them want to work for her. She's already identified the holes in her current roster and is working to fix them. I see no way she doesn't make a positive impact down there.

She is quite a lady, hard worker, tenacious, however ...the trend in volleyball today is that top volleyball players in top programs often get the opportunity to coach when there are hundreds of coaches that have put in a lifetime of hard work and commitment to accomplish their success. I can’t help but wonder how a Russ Rose or a John Cook would fare with today’s hiring mentality of picking a volleyball star first, and others that are extremely qualified come a distant second. Look at all the folks that think Jordan Larson should instantly become a husker coach with no experience. I have quite a few successful coaches in my family who would give their eyeteeth for an opportunity to coach a division one program.But most likely will be passed over for a former volleyball star.

No idea what you’re talking about. There is no current trend to higher playing stars over exceptional coaches with experience.while an Olympian, it’s volleyball. If you went to a major junior tournament t and asked 100 16 year old players “who is Kayla Banwarth”? Maybe 2 would know. Again, no idea where you are getting this trend from.

I see no way she doesn't make a positive impact down there. I wish her well. MASSIVE life changes and no head coaching experience are significant hurdles. holidayhusker's #1 Fan!I'll tag you both since you both raise good points. Regarding the sudden changes in her life - you're right, and I wouldn't diminish those obstacles. Hell, being a new mom would be enough of an upheaval for most, nevermind trekking across the country and becoming a first time head coach. Is it likely she'll turn Ole Miss into a powerhouse? No. Based on what I know of her as a coach and what I've seen of her recruiting style, do I think she'll improve the program? Definitely. She's got a really personable way of talking to players & getting the most out of them. When you combine that with her reputation as a player, you get a coach that girls will run through a wall for. And regarding the idea of great players not becoming great coaches; that's a truism in all sports but it's dependant on the TYPE of player. If their game is based on innate skill and talent, they may never have had to work as hard as their peers or develop things like reading the game because their ability was so superior. But with a player like Banwarth, her game was built on technique and determination. Those kinds of players, in my experience, DO make good coaches.
