Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 2951687, member: 2117"] John Cook is a very nice guy in real life. My brother was friends with his son when I was a kid. He knew i was a big VB fan and brought over a bunch of volleyball gear/posters when picking up his son one day from our house. Overall was your typical nice midwestern family guy. Aside from the McLaughlin run in (which wasnt a good look for either coach), I don't think he's ever had any jerk moments but I could be wrong. Cook was kind of like Kim Mulkey in volleyball, in that he had a couple of titles and was widely respected as a top coach but went through a big Final Four drought and had some underachieving years that clouded his reputation. He's definitely overcome that the last few years, as his program made their 4th straight Final Four today and he has a great shot to win his 5th title next weekend. [/QUOTE]
