Don’t doubt it was an honest mistake. I still think the difference is material. Where he was imply she left with tail between her legs matters. If he had said tuck tail and go to cali, that would to me imply that she was somehow afraid of failure or the competition level in the Midwest/B1G and was leaving in a shameful way. What he said about coming back after with tail between her legs implies the failure/shame occurred out west. But enough parsing an old bitter man’s shade to a 17 year old. Hmmm what you put there is not what I wrote but whatever. But you clarified, “To you” it would mean that. So this is a non issue imo lol I think the actual phrasing is pettier than your paraphrase, but that might just be me.

Not a fan of Cook saying this to a 17 year old at all, but let's get the quote correct. "Okay don't be another midwestern girl that goes out to California and then comes back with her tail between her legs. And if you do, don't call me". That's materially different than what posted above. Not here to defend the statement. A simple, "that's a fine university, good luck in your future" should have been enough. Also, was any projecting going on here... since his daughter went to UCLA, and came back And the context around the comment and her desire to play on a competitive beach team matters. He's implying that midwestern girls who go to cali and don't have success; come back wanting to play indoor. And he has no desire to coach those that do. Still not something to say to a PSA imo. Signed, Lauren Cook, Daughter

John Cook to Mac May - My daughter was a wholesome midwesterner until she was corrupted by those liberals out in LA. Next thing I know she comes back home and is hitting people with cars and driving away.

Forget the John Cook comments, for me the more shockingly offensive comments were later in the interview... "let's rank the Midwest states... which states are Midwest?.... no, we aren't doing the Dakotas, they're, what do you call it? Flyover?.... (then they also forget to include Ohio and Kansas).... Wait. Are the Dakotas in the Midwest? Really? Shocking lack of basic geography knowledge.... SMH Say what you want about John Cook, but the dude knows where South Dakota is, and actually recruits there, too. You are just pissed that she ranked Wisconsin highest and Nebraska third from the bottom and just ahead of Missouri.

No, I’m used to the Dakotas being overlooked by the sunbelt and coastal people, but when someone from the Midwest does it…. It’s like: dude, you’re from Iowa, not the Hamptons. Seriously, check yourself. But for realzies, they were dogging , dissing and dragging more than just John Cook and Mizzou. They also talked crap about Corvallis (the boringest PAC school), Kelly “I’m going to challenge the outcome of the challenge” Sheffield, Fake LA people, Hawaii players being lazy and wanting to go to the beach, screaming coaches from Europe, and one of the interviewers’ moms. It was basically a gossip session. Pretty entertaining, TBH

You people are so pathetically jealous.
I'm sorry your programs can't recruit or bring in the fans, but your all gonna need to get over it one day...
Some of you all sound like you're in last place.

This week it is a post that falsely represents a quote that isn't a quote at all. Instead it is a characterization of a phone call from around 7 years ago by a then 17-year-old girl that may have included her snapping at John Cook when she didn't think that he understood that she wasn't coming to Nebraska. Tune in next week to see a new attempt to defame John Cook.

The guy is an amazing coach who is in charge of an outstanding program that people want to be a part of, and is consistently referenced as a special part of their lives for the women who choose to play there. But the idea that he can sometimes be an @ss is not revelatory.

You can bring that up, then. In the meantime people pointing to him making comments that are a bit jerk-y shouldn’t be off limits, either, because he’s fully capable of them.

I didn't say that people commenting on John Cook were off limits. He is a public figure and that is part of it. The thing I didn't like was the fact that Mays recollection was posted as though it was a direct quote from Cook. But I will give you the last word on the subject if you choose. I'm done with it.
