My recollection of it was extremely vague, but I was able to find an
interesting article on line that gives the credit to Dave Nielsen, head
coach at Idaho State, and a former pole vaulter and decathlete. Says he
improved his PR by 2 ft before the technique was banned.

I also found Oakland CYO website where the high jump rules specifically
prohibits the flip.
