Didn’t get P until I guessed wrong on which the 4th Utah team was, then it came to me. Baseball managers seemed second nature to me, that’s why I thought it would be G.

My girlfriend and I both don’t understand how the bot thinks this is 3/5 difficulty. I assume 75% solve rate is near the 2-3 cutoff.

Types of basketball passes is something I learned in middle school, don’t remember everything I was taught, and not sure they even taught the baseball or overhead passes.
