“She was the absolute right person to be the head coach of Nebraska,” said Troy Dannen on the decision to hand over the reins of the Nebraska volleyball program to Dani Busboom Kelly after John Cook’s exit. From the sneak peek we’ve gotten into the Huskers’ form this preseason, it would seem like Athletic Director Dannen made the right call on the matter. But one Nebraska senior thinks it has been more than Kelly’s coaching skills which has helped the latter prove that she is indeed the “right person” for the job.
Rebekah Allick, unlike many of her colleagues, was actually happy about Busboom Kelly’s appointment. “I truly believe that we’re in really good hands,” she confessed back in February on the new head coach. Now, as the Huskers wait to embark on the 2025 season after two successful prepatory matches, the Nebraska senior once again highlighted how Dani has been able to ease the players into the new management.
Allick recently spoke with Ana Bellinghausen about the hopes for a national title under Dani Busboom Kelly’s leadership. In the YouTube upload from August 18 by Hail Varsity, the middle blocker could also be heard talking about how “seamless” it felt to step into the DBK era after having played four years under John Cook before that. “…she has been incredibly transparent. One of our first meetings with her was coaches’ changes…Just transparency has been the name of the game and I think that’s what has allowed a lot of us to buy in,” Allick said.
