Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball

I finally got around to reading Freakonomics recently, and just finished a section describing how the No Child Left Behind law incentivized teachers to cheat. Following this law, several cities enacted rules stipulating that schools with low performance on standardized tests were put on probation/shut down and teachers fired. Conversely, schools with good performances were given rewards, and specific teachers whose classes performed well were given bonuses. Not surprisingly, this system incentivized teachers to cheat in order to obtain better test performances for their class (e.g., by giving extra time to their students, giving away answers, or even changing students' answers after the test).

They then went on to describe a particularly humorous incident of teacher cheating at UGA:

"You might think that the sophistication of teachers who cheat would increase along with the level of schooling. But an exam given at the University of Georgia in the fall of 2001 disputes that idea. The course was called Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball, and the final grade was based on a single exam that had twenty questions. Among the questions:

How many halves are in a college basketball game?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4

How many points does a 3-pt. field goal account for in a basketball game?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4

What is the name of the exam which all high school seniors in the state of Georgia must pass?
a. Eye Exam
b. How Do the Grits Taste Exam
c. Bug Control Exam
d. Georgia Exit Exam

In your opinion, who is the best Division I assistant coach in the country?
a. Ron Jirsa
b. John Pelphrey
c. Jim Harrick Jr.
d. Steve Wojciechowski

If you are stumped by the final question, it might help to know that Coaching Principles was taught by Jim Harrick Jr., an assistant coach with the university's basketball team. It might also help to know that his father, Jim Harrick Sr., was the head basketball coach. Not surprisingly, Coaching Principles was a favorite course among players on the Harricks' team. Every student in the class received an A. Not long afterward, both Harricks were relieved of their coaching duties."
