About The Omaha Supernovas Coaches Show

The Omaha Supernovas Coaches Show is a weekly, live-from-the-bar companion to Omaha’s pro volleyball season. It is less polished debate show than coaches-room debrief. Grant Hanson guides the hour from Set the Bar in Benson, where the conversations move quickly through what just happened, what comes next, and what the Supernovas need to clean up. The format is reliable. There is a recent-match review, a look at the standings, a preview of upcoming opponents, and time with coaches or players who can explain the details from inside the team. That structure gives the show a useful rhythm. A tough five-set loss at San Diego, a five-set win over Indy, a road swing through Grand Rapids, or a playoff push late in the season becomes material for concrete volleyball talk rather than broad fan chatter. The best moments come when role and execution are the subject. Allison Holder talks about coming in cold and being ready to help defensively. Coaches joke about adding a back-row Bic, but the joke still turns on volleyball logic. Player guests bring the human side without drifting far from the court. Episodes with Merritt Beason, Leyla Blackwell, Brooke Mosier, Reagan Cooper, Janice Leal, Toyosi Onabanjo, and others add stories about moving, college ties, road life, and team fit. The show also keeps one foot in Omaha. Set the Bar announcements, KCRO broadcast reminders, local crowds, and Supernovas fan rituals are part of the weekly texture. It can be loose. A dog daycare bracket, expansion mascot predictions, and Words of the Match bits give the hour some bar-table oddness. Still, the center holds. The show keeps returning to match flow, roster availability, standings pressure, and how players prepare to contribute. It also captures a season in motion, including the move from Lucas LeBay to Thomas Robson as interim head coach. For Supernovas fans, that makes it more than a recap. It is a running record of how a professional volleyball team talks through a season while the matches are still being decided.

Made for: For Omaha Supernovas fans, MLV followers, and volleyball people who want match talk with enough tactical detail to feel useful. It also fits local sports listeners who like player interviews and live community energy around a team.

What sets it apart: The show’s edge is access to the Supernovas’ own weekly rhythm: coaches, players, bar crowd, broadcast notes, and match prep in the same hour. It treats pro volleyball like a working sport, not a novelty.

In their own words

Voice of the Omaha Supernovas, Grant Hansen, sits down each week with Supernovas interim head coach Thomas Robson and Novas players to talk everything Supernovas. The show is live from 6-7 p.m. every Tuesday night at SET The Bar in Benson.
