UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia - 2018

[tcf15]

I thought about this as well, but the question doesn't specifically state that they had to become a head coach after being at UConn. Blaney became a head coach at several schools, and was also a UConn assistant. And ultimately, reverse sheep round is about finding unique or interesting answers, even if it's by a technicality, so that was my reason for allowing it.

Also, this: Last 2 UConn wins go to Blaney, not Calhoun

STORRS, Conn. -- Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun won't get credit for the 2-1 record his team compiled while he was serving a suspension for NCAA recruiting violations.

The NCAA's Committee on Infractions ruled Thursday that that record will instead go to assistant George Blaney, who coached the team to wins over South Florida and St. John's and a loss to Seton Hall.

As always, everyone should also tally their own scores and let me know if you come up with a different total.

 

[jfuchs91]

Raphael Chillious is serving as UConn’s interim head coach

Now this is the kind of challenge I like. Approved. Your scores have been adjusted.

Scoring Notes

• Alterique Gilbert is interesting because he both did and didn't average 10 or more points as a freshman. In 2016-2017, he averaged 10.3 PPG, while in his redshirt freshman season last year, he averaged 9.0 PPG. Since he did meet the threshold in 2016-2017, @whaler11 was given credit for the answer.

• Lee Otis Wilson very well may have averaged 10+ PPG as a freshman, but for the life of me, I couldn't find any evidence one way or another. @Wolferowski, if you have a link that proves your answer, I can update your score.

• For those curious, here's a link to double-digit freshman scorers from 1993-2018. Earlier players were searched on an individual basis.

I’m terrible at reverse sheep because I think I’ve got clever answers and then everyone has Josh Boone.... but thanks for this one I was giggling when I submitted Gilbert.

Apologies for how long this game has taken - I always underestimate how long these take.

That said, the final two questions and awards will be unveiled tomorrow afternoon. There will be fireworks across the nation to celebrate the occasion.

[QUOTE="jfuchs91, post: 2771155, member:
On this answer, I didn't allow it because a freshman-specific award is not able to be won by all of the conference.

However, I'm open to a challenge on this. Provide an argument before the end of the day, and if I'm convinced, I'll adjust your score.[/QUOTe

First, thanks for all this. It was fun.
But, wasn't Brimah the defensive player of the year?

[boog204]

I feel like the secret to Sheep Trivia is just to put Ray Allen for every player-centric question. He's the most likely answer on one side and the answer that everyone avoids on the other...

You're right, I didn't initially count it, but Brimah technically did win an "all-conference honor", so I've updated your score total.

​

Thank you to everyone who participated!

Great job with this! Hopefully all the impatient people won’t stop you from doing it again.

 

[David 76]

You're right, I didn't initially count it, but Brimah technically did win an "all-conference honor", so I've updated your score total.

Yippee!

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

GOOGLE AWARD: @Wolferowski with "Jimmy Zullo"

​

Thank you to everyone who participated!

I get that it's good form to simply say, "You're welcome," but you're thanking US? Thank YOU!

I'm already looking forward to next year's edition, now that I understand the rules and have a sense of how others play. I will probably score no better, maybe even worse

If I'd only considered that others would think first of Kemba Walker as a NYC recruit, I'd have done quite well. But we probably wouldn't have gotten Kemba without Taliek, and Taliek is back in the fold, so it's fine by me.

As for my only incorrect answer, I figured the best bet was to pick KO with an NBA team noone else would think of. I guess nobody recalled Chuck Daly as his mentor on the Pistons for good reason. Where were they together, Philly? I'm still not looking anything up.

 

[David 76]

Thanks jfuchs. That was fun and you did a great job!

 

[Stainmaster]

Many thanks, jfuchs. You deserve a belt yourself!
