Those are good coaches. But they all get great gifted individuals to train. If they coached a D3 talent pool you would have never heard of them.

So who are the ones most never heard of ? Make them known here

Famous = Dan Pfaff, Wolfgang Ritzdorf

Not so famous = Travis Geopford (sp?) Arkansas, Barry Shempert Tenn

IMO Tim Winder is clearly one of the best vault coaches. I know he has taken several 12-13 footers and made them 16-17 foot vaulters.

Coach Dee Quarles from South Carolina

Dan Pfaff = GREAT coach

Travis Geopfert = Recruiter....The majority of his jumpers come in already jumping far. However, he's a great multis coach

Berry Shumpert = Great women's triple jump coach. Not sure about the rest of his jumpers

I doubt Eric Schueffner is very well known, but what he's doing at UW-Whitewater in just the past year alone deserves props. A couple examples from this season:

Mike Cournia FR - 3rd place at D3 Outdoors TJ - 49-07.75. Many other jumps over 49 during the season including a wind aided 50'+ jump. 48'6" PR in high school but the rest of his jumps were 46 and below according to Dyestat.

He also got third in the LJ at 23-8.25. Never jumped over 22 in high school that I could find.

Robert Starnes FR - Outdoor national champ in the HJ with a mark of 7-00.25. His HS best was 6-7. 5" improvement in one year!

Two in state guys UW would love to have I'm sure, but they should gather a ton of All-American honors and titles at the D3 level.

The best combined jumps coach in the college ranks also happens to be the guy running the hottest multi's program in the country. Petros Kyprianou at Georgia. No one has had athletes score more points in the jumps at nationals in the last 5 years, not to mention how he has built a Mens and Womens multi's program that is dominating at the moment.

That's great stuff

Auburn jumps Coach G. He was had multiple NCAA all Americans and National Champs at smaller programs before AU success.

Seriously people. Austin Brobst. While working at a school that's known for distance runners, he's had MULTIPLE national champions. Yet he never gets a mention. I don't know why.

I'm a D1 collegiate jump's coach, but I will give me unbiased

Current jump's coach rankings:

1. Petros Kypr???? (UGA)- He's been getting it done for years, and it's EXACTLY why he's been named the head coach at UGA. Local/International HIGH profile talent has been his MO, but coaching the BEST is no easy task. There would be no UGA program without the efforts of Petros and his jumps/multi crew.

2. Travis Geopart (ARK)- Not only coaches the talent, but develops well also! I would put Nic Peterson (UF) in this position if he coached events outside of the LJ/TJ. Both have similar attributes horizontally, but Travis consistently gets the job done in many areas. Travis would actually be tied for 1st in my unofficial scoring.

3. James Thomas (Texas Tech)- Google his athletes then look at what their performances are now. Coach Revelto (KState) was the HJ gold standard, but I'm now a Thomas believer in that event especially. I was a skeptic, but I personally know the history of NONE of his jumpers or multis, but they consistently put up elite marks. Place him at ARK, UF, LSU, USC, or UT, and he's the undesputed #1.

4. Cliff Revelto (KState)- The "Godfather". All 3 listed so far coach the heck out the jumps/combined events, but Revelto is the gold standard in my opion. Not to mention, the king of the HJ collegiatly before Thomas entered the scene... I still place Revelto as the overall #1 coach in the nation. The man can coach EVERY event at a high level.

5. Sheldon Bolckberger (USC)- Easily in the discussion in all event areas pertaining to the jumps/multis. Developmental coaching is questionable to some extent, but he does well with the blue chippers overtime. 5 years at at powerhouse popular USC, and he could easily be in discussion with the #1 spot as well.

^^^ This is spot on!!
