I am extremely happy for Sam to join our staff. He is an excellent teacher of volleyball and he separates himself because of his love and passion for the game as well as his players.

We're really excited about Renee joining our team. She's a great all-around player who will add experience to our outside hitters. I think she can have an immediate impact with her leadership as well as her competitive instincts and I think she is already a player with great technique and knowledge of the game.

We are so young that every time we play, I can see our players getting more and more comfortable on the court and with each other.

Anytime we get to play in the spring, it is nice because we get to practice certain things and see different playing styles across the net. Our players left with a good feeling and I think it was a productive weekend for us.

I can't express how happy I am that my former coach, Dan Gable, has decided to join my staff at Iowa. He's been with me every step of the way during my career and this will be no different. There's no one in the world who's better at working with wrestlers and I'm glad he's on board.

When the reviews are bad I tell my staff that they can join me as I cry all the way to the bank
