Helmer informs the team that the throws coach (Jones) and sprints/jumps coach (Huntoon) will not be returning. Word is the only coach returning is the pole vault coach. The assistant distacne and sprints coaches had already departed the team.
Anyone confirm this???
I'd coach IU throws for half of Jones salary.
I guess coaching the best high jumper in NCAA history doesnt count for anything......this is total BS!
Why would they let go of the throws coach? Having NCAA and. Big 10 champions isn't enough?
Who cares?
Does not seem to make sense. Huntoon was the coach-in-waiting and was Helmers right hand man. Will need to see documentation of this before I believe it.
Jones has had a lot of success in the throws, but the cupboard is looking pretty bare in the future as of now.
Helmer should fire himself
Touch dealings in Bloomington. Doesnt seem like it can possibly be performance-only; maybe some shady dealings?
Helmer only kept Wiseman and he coaches just the pv. Needs throws, sprints, distance and jumps coach!
Heck we don't even know if it's true yet.

Isn't Helmer sick? How can he still be coaching?
They haven't done a very good job of recruiting talent, as well as developing (most of) the talent they do have, especially when it comes to non-distance events. Derek Drouin is an exception
Indiana did win Big Ten XC last year. That has to shut up some of the IU criticizers out there.
Did you study all their 2014 Big 10 Indoor and Outdoor meet
results ??? (almost MSU-like)
It's true. They're gone. WOW! This is big news. Anyone know what the deal is here? Some good coaches just fired. Wasn't Andy Poore one of Helmer's boys?
Where is did you find this info? I have not seen anything on this...

I can 100% confirm this is true as I heard this past weekend from a current member of the IU track team. Will be interesting to see when IU officially announces the departures.
Also, Poore was a volunteer coach the past two years so I'm unsure of his future with the team.
You mean to say that, in order to keep your job as a assistant coach at a major program you have to recruit? What a bunch of bullsh1t.
Great interview with Steve Cram - says Jakob has no chance of WRs this year
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
