I think this is hard if you don't closely follow the NBA. I knew 2004 was the year Detroit won and I was pretty sure he had one one at either Kansas or UNC. He coached a lot of NBA teams including Philly. While I could picture him, It took me a while to pull his name.

2. With its 14th season that premiered in September 2019, what television series tied The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet as the longest-running live-action sitcom in American TV history (and extended its lead among such series that include the name of a city in their titles)?

I have watched every episode, but I had a hard time believing it had been around this long. Then I remembered that I watched the first two or three seasons on DVD in 2008 living in my first apartment in DC. 14 years made sense and I could not think of another sitcom with a city's name in it. King of Queens was one consideration, but I thought that must have been canceled by now.

I knew this from somewhere.

I had no idea, but that does seem familiar. 

6. In a victory (both legal and spiritual) for the indigenous Anangu people, rules are in place as of October 26, 2019, banning the climbing of what, with violators facing fines of up to A$630?

I climbed it in 1998 and as I was climbing I remember it felt pretty dangerous. There were young kids and old men pulling themselves up and they could have easily fallen to their deaths. I saw the news articles recently about it closing for climbing.
