knapplc Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I'm really surprised there isn't a statue of Terry Pettit yet. There's no Jordan Larson without Terry Pettit. After taking over the job in 1976, Pettit toured this state, training high school teachers to coach volleyball. His hard work took years to pay off, but now Nebraska is one of the hotbeds in recruiting, and has led to the growth of not only UNL, but Creighton, UNK, Kansas, KSU, Iowa State, Midland, the Dakota schools, etc. Girls from C-1 go to college D1 programs every year. That's all built off Pettit's sweat. Of course Larson deserves a statue. But so does Coach Pettit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Petit should probably get one first, and then Cook once he retires. 1 Quote Link to comment

It makes me wonder if he's pushed back on it. It's one thing having a court named for you. Statues seem a bit "more," you know? Quote Link to comment
