UConn (Reverse) Sheep Trivia 2020

[Huskyforlife]

I actually didn't plan on counting Diarra when I was writing the questions but his title on the UConn website lists him as "Student Assistant Coach"

Yeah and I'd consider that a separate title, but I'm third to last so I shouldn't talk.

 

[bigknight3]

Is he technically a coach?

Lol navery said the link includes the reason why he awarded points. It's says student assistant coach. Therefore he's an assistant coach for the purpose of this game.

Surprised there's multiple people (not just you) questioning the title that's listed on Uconn's staff page.

My thoughts exactly. If his title includes the word "coach," he's a coach.

 

[M.S.G.]

Back to back Joakim Noah, Al Horford

Don't forget Corey Brewer, he was the Scottie Pippen for that team, absolute monster at both ends.

 

[ZenConn]

D'oh. I put Arizona when I was thinking UCLA.

My thoughts exactly. If his title includes the word "coach," he's a coach.

As if it isn't enough to collect the data, score each question and update everyone's scores - then navery has to research answers, respond to 'what did I write' and deal with quibbles about question phrasing?!
Ironically adding to the workload, I suggest a system similar to replay review. One protest allowed per round (sheep or reverse) if you lose there is a point deduction. If you make more than 2 inquiries you run the next game. This of course counts as my one for this round.

 

[Zanzman]

Sounds like more work

Incredible

I have had the worst correct answer for every reverse sheep question so far. I am exquisitely bad at this.

 

[ZenConn]

I am horrible.

Walt Dropo (+2): Blaneylover Griggs

Wanted to put Walt Dropo but had a brain fart and couldn't remember his name... A few years ago I bought his Red Sox Rookie Card from 1950 on eBay but couldn't find where I put it. Anyone who isn't familiar with Walt should google him, one of the best athletes ever to play at UConn. And congrats to the 2 BYers who got this one right!

That is an incredibly weird grouping. Mid first round pick Huskies were near poison in the 2006 NBA draft and reverse sheep 2020. Or maybe the demographics of boneyarders playing has lots of 06-ish grads, 35yr old median age?!
Avoid Drummond & Lamb if we play again in 2026.

I think we all hoped their disappointing careers would lead people to forget they were first round picks. Lamb and Drummond have produced.

Damn you 13 other people who thought Boone was a clever answer

I said Boone but I meant Baylor

NBA lottery pick, drafted by the Bears in the NFL draft, and became an All-Star in the MLB. And he served in the Army in Italy and Germany during WWII...Dropo had an insane resume
