3-Point Line Moved Back

[VeloClone]

Too bad they can't do something about the clearly intentional fouls in the final minutes of the game. Like make them an automatic flagrant.

If that is the only strategy available it will be used. If they don't like the foul to get the ball back strategy, keep whittling the shot clock or go to something like the Elam ending. Of course with the Elam ending the end of a Wisconsin basketball game just might never come.

Now time to move to quarters and do fouls like the NBA to get rid of the 1 and 1 free throws. I think that’s the worst part of the college game right now.

To each their own. I think 1 and 1's are exciting.

I think it unnecessarily screws over the team ahead.

The official definition of a held ball (jump ball situation):
12.1.2 A held ball occurs when one or more players of each opposing team have one or both hands firmly on the ball so that neither player can gain control without undue roughness.

LOL, that's ridiculous.

To be fair, this was written prior to Moss transferring and Bohannon announcing surgery.

With all the years of the blue blood schools complaining about teams that shoot lots of 3s, all i can think is that this might work in their favor.

Bill Self is drooling over a rule change that opens up the lane in Dok's senior season. Yeah, I like this change a lot.

It wont open the lane for Kansas unless they find some shooters before next year.

Rule change I would like to see: Advance ball to half court after a time out in the final minute of game.

I don't see the moving the 3 pt line back a guarantee to open up the lane. At least for a couple years as guys adjust to the extra distance.

I am sure someone will do the analytics, but my guess is 30-40% of guys who shot 35%+ from the old distance might dip 4-5% from the longer distance. I think this could result in coaches contracting their defense. We might also see more zone defense or triangle/2 or box n 1.

I will also be curious how it impacts high pick n roll offense.

Or more accurately, Adidas finds a new way to buy some shooters for KU.

The only positive thing about this rule change is now my eyes won't bleed from watching THT flail away desperation 3's from 16 inches deeper next year.

The only positive is you talking about a guy that won’t be playing for us next year?

Outstanding Jer, outstanding.

 

[ComCY]

Maybe now all those long-twos where they only had to take a half-step back for one more point won't infuriate me as much.

Nope. Hate that rule with a fiery passion.

Would be like a team receiving a kickoff in a football game and automatically being placed into field goal range in the last minute.

I saw Jay Bilas propose something like this not that long ago. It's a great idea. Don't give the refs incentive to show off and you likely won't see it called nearly as much.

Even though it's baseball, I couldn't help to think of this scene from the movie Naked Gun.

It reminded me of that, too.
