Stanford volleyball is coming to Nebraska — and they want to make amends

The NCAA’s Twitter account posted a photo last December from the Stanford locker room in Minneapolis after the national championship match. The photo showed a drawing of what appeared to be a gun being pointed at Herbie Husker.

 

Cook said Stanford coach Kevin Hambly reached out and apologized. Interestingly, the Cardinal are scheduled to come to Lincoln to play the Huskers next fall. And Cook said the Cardinal team wants to perform community service while they’re here.

 

“We got a letter of apology from the coach,” Cook said. “He reached out to me and said he was going to take care of it. They’re going to do community service here when they come play here next fall. That’s their way of saying 'Hey, we’re not evil people.'”

 

For the record, Stanford did not post the photo and certainly didn't mean for it to become public. Most teams, in any sport, do not want what happens in their locker room to be open to the public.

 

But there are fewer private places in today's sports world. This is a reminder that coaches and players need to be aware of, Cook said.

 

“First of all, there’s people coming in and out of your locker room all the time at the final four,” Cook said. “The (Stanford) coach explains to me that it’s something they’ve done all along. Well, why didn’t somebody shut it down?

 

“You know, maybe 15 years ago, it was okay because nobody saw it. Now it’s public. Especially at the NCAA tournament, those locker rooms are open. I don’t know what they’re thinking, if that’s how they get motivated ...

 

“Times have changed.”

 

Indeed, in more ways than one. The Stanford gesture is appreciated. Any good ideas on what the Stanford ladies should do in Lincoln?
