Triple trouble??

[edit]

Under college ball, the article says at one point "He led USF to NCAA championships in 1955 and 1956, including a string of 55 consecutive victories, and an unofficial double triple-double with 26 points, 27 rebounds, 20 blocks, 3 steals, and an assist."

What exactly is a double triple double? This looks like one triple double to me.2600:6C50:800:2787:EC21:19C9:889E:73E4 (talk) 07:20, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

I don't care for the terminology, but it's supposed to mean a triple double in which every one of the three double-figure categories is 20 or higher (i.e., double what's needed for a triple double).Myasuda (talk) 13:06, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
I just saw this and agree that the wording is going to be confusing to readers who aren't hardcore basketball fans. I gave it a bit of a rewording, which hopefully fixed the problem. Giants2008 (Talk) 21:29, 29 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
