"Rocks for Jocks" is the classic term for an easy non-major course. In 2001, Jim Harrick Jr. taught "Hoops for Moops" at the University of Georgia. Properly titled "Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball", this class stretched the cognitive abilities of the enrolled UGA basketball players.
Consider some of these questions on the exam (multiple choice answers in parentheses):
How many goals are on a basketball court?
(1, 2, 3, 4)
How many halves are in a college basketball game?
(1, 2, 3, 4)
How many points does a 3-point field goal account for in a basketball game?
(1, 2, 3, 4)
If you go on to become a huge coaching success, to whom will you tribute the credit?
(Mike Krzyzewski, Bobby Knight, John Wooden, Jim Harrick Jr.)
All students who took this exam, the only exam for the course, received an A.
The NCAA found the UGA men's basketball program to have committed academic fraud.
