Why would UNC want 2 throws coaches? That's silly

Not necessarily. Throws are complex and time consuming. They also yield some of the highest improvement rates of any of the events.

Athletes in the distances and the throws have much more room for improvement then in the sprints because their genetic ceiling is not as low.

In many places, one of the throws coaches also works with the combined events. Also, as far as logistics goes, it does make sense.

the thought is that harlis will be more of a ceo type head coach - be more of a point man w/ logistics - i would assume he would be a big recruiter for the program

the interesting thought there is that unc only had 4 or 5 full time coaches - i know it wasn't 6 - i know for a long time it was 4 full time and 1 with no benefits

if they gave him six full time coaches i can see it - if it is 4 or 5 it seems like a stretch to have a head coach who doesn't coach on the track

Harlis is a sharp guy so I am sure he has a well thought out plan

Does that mean Althea is headed to Tech as well?

hmmm. now I wont get so pissed seeing the guy at the Texas HS State Meet. Eventhough its Tech, better than UK

They are not married. Just have the same last name I think?

Perhaps another Church of Christ conversion?

Iowa State.

Could this mean Illinois native and North Central grad Travis Hartke goes to Illinois?

DISCLAIMER: all speculation

Can anybody give the rest of us a rational explanation for this hire?
