Coach Cook did have a tough set of problems to manage. However, I lean for Coach of the Year to DBK, Dan Fisher, or one of the Mississippi schools. It was decided yesterday. DBK won. Having said that this may be Cook's best overall coaching job of a team maybe equal to 2017. |

They don’t have an arm like Foecke on this team. |

Texas Fan here. Should cook win Coach of the year? I think so. He made tough decisions early on to start younger/newer players. The tough B1G schedule seemed to have developed those players to the point they are today. congrats Nebraska. I think Cook should definitely have gotten consideration, but DBK is very worthy. |

you got half of it right...the 2nd part Nebraska wins and Lexi Sun played her part as a awesome team mate. One more win and Lexi gets her National Championship. It all comea down to one match, and Lexi has worked hard for what could transpire tomorrow. |

I think cook would be happier to hoist the trophy—he preaches team first |

RE: the Cook COY comments.
The problem is, Nebraska has more talent/athleticism on their team than anyone, maybe sans Stanford. I mean, hell, Lexi Sun was on the bench.
Nebraska, given their talent/athleticism, IMO, underperformed for most of the year. They started the preseason ranked 5 and slid all the way down to the teens before entering the tournament at 10 (which I think most thought was 1 or 2 spots too high). I think what we've seen in the tournament is Nebraska reaching their talent potential (obviously at the right time), but I'm not sure that provides support for Cook as COY.
Louisville and Pitt, on the other hand, didn't have the high profile players, but were excellent because of experience and coaching. DBK hands down deserved the award. I think what we might have saw in the Final Four was the raw talent on Nebraska and Wisconsin beating out the polish of Louisville and Pitt -- maybe not, maybe if those games were played 5 times Louisville and Pitt would come out on top, but at least re: Nebraska, I think to some extent they're in the final despite some questionable coaching this year (sans Cook's serving strategy, damn), not because of a COY-caliber coaching job.

I’m actually crying so hard for Lund right now. The way she tried so hard to stay composed It is *such* a great sport, and these young women give it so much that it always sucks to see teams lose. |

Nebraska is where it is right now due in no small part to its coaching. i think Cook did a masterful job coaching this year, probably one of his best. i'm not arguing for COY because i think DBK deserves it. To suggest that Nebraska's succeeding in spite of its coaching is absolutely absurd! |

The Badgers will eat the Cornhuskers for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Huskers, remember you have not beaten the Badgers this season. Both matches were not even close, 3-0, and 3-1. It will be another 3-0 match. Wisconsin, national Champions!!!! boo, your program went from title contender to having a goal of making the tournament. We get your upset about that. Not our issue.. I am not worried about Wahine Volleyball, but Huskers should be quite concerned when they get spanked by the Badgers, who they have not beaten all season. Nebraska, need to remember, Wisconsin is not as small as Pittsburgh, they are a GIANT Team with a lot of veteran players.
