Question 20 - Reverse Sheep Round

20) Name a UConn player or assistant coach who became a head coach of a

George Blaney (+2):
Uchusky916, Uconnphil2016

Is this accurate? The question is "who became" not "who had been"?

 

[boog204]

Wait, all rookie doesn't count as all-conference? I call shenanigans!

 

[ZenConn]

If someone had drawn a rat in this picture, I would have lost it.

 

[jfuchs91]

Is this accurate? The question is "who became" not "who had been"?

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, as tcf details below, Blaney was actually credited with some wins and losses at UConn during one of Calhoun's absences.

Wait, all rookie doesn't count as all-conference? I call shenanigans!

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.

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.

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.

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.
