Good News NCAA B-Ball Fans, moving the 3 point line back 1 foot

I personally think they should just have NBA 3s, but that's just me.

Its not set in stone yet. The article says that it has to be approved by some committee on May 25.

Re: Good News NCAA B-Ball Fans, moving the 3 point line back 1 foot
 

Awesome if it does happen, so much better for inside play. Make it a lot easier to get the ball inside on post entry and have better spacing. That's what I most care about.

Does this ever change at the high school level down the line because of rule change?

Re: Good News NCAA B-Ball Fans, moving the 3 point line back 1 foot
 

Good. We might start seeing some 12-15 foot jumpers again.

Re: Good News NCAA B-Ball Fans, moving the 3 point line back 1 foot
 

"Women's basketball, however, did not approve the rule, and will keep the line at 19 feet, 9 inches...."

Now they're not even trying to get similar attention to the guys anymore. The best thing to happen to NCAA Women's Basketball PR was Don Imus.

It doesn't "need" anything, but there are too many slow/terrible guards in NCAA and I get tired of watching them skeet shoot all game.

Because you had [censored] teams having 40+% of their FGA as threes. The average in the NBA is around 21% with Phoenix leading at 29%.

Just an example, but only 2 teams shot less than 30% threes (they shot 28%) per game in the Big Ten this year, with PSU the leader at 42%.

Re: Good News NCAA B-Ball Fans, moving the 3 point line back 1 foot
 

just want to note how stupid this move is according to those that have studied it

the experimental college games with an int'l line the past few years have had almost the same success percentage from 3 point land, but slower tempos.

Moving the line out forces teams to take longer in their sets. There is not a discernible difference between shooting 19 9 and 20 9. Have to go out to NBA land if you want to change the game.


all of this i gleaned form the kenpom blog and links contained there within

It is about time. Good news for UNC (not so good news for dook).
