1999 Season in Review - Huskers.com - Nebraska Athletics Official Web Site

Lincoln -- Head volleyball coach Terry Pettit closed the book on one of the most productive coaching careers in NCAA history when he announced on Dec. 14 that he was stepping down as head coach after 23 seasons on the Husker sidelines. However, Director of Athletics Bill Byrne insured that Nebraska's success would carry on into the next century by naming Associate Head Coach John Cook as Pettit's replacement.

Pettit's retirement brought an end to one of college volleyball's legacies, as he finished his career with a 694-148-11 record, just six wins shy of his 700th win at Nebraska. During his 23 seasons at the Husker helm, Pettit's teams played in three national championship matches, won 21 conference titles, appeared in 18 consecutive NCAA Tournaments and won the 1995 NCAA title.

The fifth-winningest coach in NCAA volleyball history, Pettit said fans should be excited about the future of Nebraska volleyball.
