BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana field hockey head coach Amy Robertson has announced that assistant coach Jeremy Cook is leaving Indiana to become the head coach at Bucknell University. Cook was hired as an assistant coach at Indiana in February 2007.
"We are excited for Jeremy and the new opportunity to move on to a head coaching position. I can't thank him enough for all that he offered to the program here at Indiana," said Robertson. "Bucknell is very fortunate to be able to hire a coach with his experience and abilities and we wish him nothing but the best."
Cook takes over a Bucknell program that finished 8-9 overall and 1-4 in the Patriot League in 2007. The team returns five of its top six scorers, including the two highest scorers, in Amanda Faust and Megan Krebs.
Cook has also had assistant coaching stints at Penn (2005-06), Drexel (2000-01), American (1999) and Cornell (1997-98). Among his extensive international field hockey experience, Cook has served as a technical assistant with the U.S. men's and women's national teams. He assisted the men's team at the Olympic qualifying tournament and the 2008 women's squad at the Pan Am Games that includes former Hoosier Kayla Bashore and is headed for the Beijing Olympics.
He has also served as an assistant coach and administrative director at the Elite Performance Training Center in either the Pennsylvania/New Jersey or the Midwest Region each summer since 2005, and he has more than six years of experience coaching the U.S. Futures program in the Washington, D.C., area and at developmental camps across the country.
