Katy will do an excellent job but I also think Jason would have done an excellent job as well. As far as Katy's experience the Moorhead head coach had a series of personal issues that kept her away from her team for an extended period of time over several seasons so Katy basically ran the show for much of the last several years. She will have a great rapport with the players and she's very personable which should really help with the recruiting. Give her a chance, I think she'll do well. And she's a very likable person if you get a chance to meet her so it's not hard to see how she could impress the selection committee.
And for what UND pays the volleyball coach alot of D1 assistant coaches make more where they're at.
UND should be good this season if everyone comes back. Lots of young talent, similar to 3-4 years ago with Cahill, Welter, Tuve, ... getting lots of playing time early and then getting some success.
Of course your milage may vary
