TurnTwo Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Surprised no one has brought this up yet.The NCAA will be moving the three point line back one foot from the current distance of 19'9" to 20'9". This line change will apply only to the men; so apparently there will now be two lines painted on all college courts, really makes no sense at all to me. If they were going to move it back it should have been either consistent with the international standard (20'6") or the NBA standard (23'9" at the key, 22' in the corner).Link.

Jigga Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Puckheads don't care about basketball, especially if it's during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

WJMorris3 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I hope it doesn't pass. College basketball is perfect as is.I'd like to see 20'6" instead, the international standard, but adopt it for the women's game as well. Thus, no need for the 19'9" line.

NJTank Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I hope it doesn't pass. College basketball is perfect as is.Actually the one flaw in College Basketball is that the 3-point line is too close, and its too easy of shot moving it back about a foot is the right thing to do. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with all the talk about not lettin' the pros compete in Olympic ball (speaking of which... it wouldn't hurt if the NCAA got the trapezoid either).

Jigga Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Screw painting some new lines or changing the shape of the lane, how about they start teaching FUN-DA-MEN-TALS. That's good enough for me.I know the NCAA doesn't do anything that isn't motivated by money, but I'm at a loss to how this is a profitable move.

DrBear Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I agree with the international 3-point distance...it make sense for SOMETHING to match! I've always felt the 3-point NCAA line was too close - top-of-the-key is too basic a shot to earn three points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't argue that point. I'll just say... scoreboard. What is UF's record against UT over the past two years? Last time I checked, I believe it was 1-3.

When drunken Tennessee fans can make valid points about anything, you're in serious trouble.

Joshawaggie Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 You know these kids are practicing hauling it up from well beyond where the current line is, trying to emulate the NBA, so moving it back isn't going to hurt a whole lot, or probably change much either. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 yeah when college kids play at the garden or any other court that has the colege 3 and the nba 3 on the court, most try to shoot from the nba 3 line, so it makes no difference, maybe just a mental one.
