Evidently he’s way more of a big deal than we want to admit.

I participate in an online trivia competition called Learned League. 6 general knowledge questions each day and you are pitted against an opponent. Questions are tough and if you can get 50% right you’re competent at trivia and at 60% you’re pretty good.

Sports is a fairly common category, and college basketball comes up every now and then. I’m not gonna scour the entire questions database, but I’m pretty certain that if any college basketball coaches have ever been the subject of a question, they’re of the Dean Smith/Rick Pitino household-name level. But it’s not a sports-focused league, so you’ll never see a question about say Greg Gard or Matt Painter, although in the off-season there are focused competitions that could be all college basketball and include those guys.

But here was a Wednesday question: The current coach of the Chicago Bears shares a name with the Canadian sprinter who was stripped of the gold medal in the 100m dash at the 1988 Summer Olympics, as well as the man who served until March 2025 as the coach of the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's basketball team. What is that full name (first and last)?

Even if the question really wasn’t about him, you gotta admit, dude is in rarified company.
