3-Point Line Moved Back

[JeanValette]

NCAA pushed the line to match up with international play.

Edit: Other notable rules were changed as well. This included a 20 sec shot clock reset after the ball hits the rim and the offense rebounds. Reviews also now can include goal-tending/basket interference in last 2 minutes of play.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Makes sense

 

[Stewo]

I like the new shot clock rule as well.

 

[Rural]

Agreed, good changes. Be curious to see what effect it has next year.

My first guess would be more butt-ugly games.

Big fan of this:
In the last two minutes of the second half or the last two minutes of any overtime, instant replay review can be conducted if a basket interference or goaltending call has been made.

Never understood why goaltending couldn't be reviewed as it obviously can have a big impact on the game.

Should open the lane just a little more. Defenders have to move out farther to guard the offense. Not as easy for help defense.

Im sure we will have the ugly tall white guy draining 3s on us still, like in the past.

The way I read this is that they can review it if they call goal tending but not if they don't. Will lead to anything close being called and then reviewed.

Eh, maybe some of that early on as some players realize that the new line is just outside of their range. It's going to put more pressure on the defense if a team has a couple of snipers because now there's just more area to cover. And it maybe increases the value of having a good rim protector with the offense now likely having more room to get into the paint.

Not sure if this will be the case. If you had players that could shoot from that distance last year you still had to guard them that far out regardless of where the line was. Plenty of shots have been going up from well behind the line already.

Will this mean two 3pt lines on the court again for men and women?

 

[jdoggivjc]

I really wouldn’t be opposed to them moving it back to the NBA distance (assuming it’s not the same as international). So many players shoot from that range anyway trying to create separation from defenders guarding the line anyway.

This rule only helps ISU, its going to make the college game better to watch IMO. People hate on the NBA but any way we can make cbb offense more like the offense you see in the NBA the better.

Be warned though, we're going to see tons of threads about why so and so is shooting long 2's. Those shots will be more and more common. Every NBA guard has it in the arsenal. That's a big reason we saw guys like LW and Shayok putting that shot up consistently, its a necessity for an NBA guard.

Would assume so...haven't seen any chatter on the ladies side. While a foot and change difference doesn't seem like much, it is going to drop percentages at least a couple of percent.

Only if you hate offense. Defenses will be struggling the first few seasons to adjust. It should make the game faster and more high scoring.

Question: How was 3-point distance for international rules set at 22 feet, 1 3/4 inches -- vs. a rounded-down distance of 22 feet? I assume statistical calculation was involved, but I'm curious how they make the determination of appropriate dividing point.

 

[WalkingCY]

Also, this:

Shot clock reset

The panel also approved resetting the shot clock at 20 seconds after a field goal attempt hits the rim and the offensive team rebounds the ball in the front court.

The change is being made to enhance the pace of the game. The committee decided a full 30-second shot clock is not needed because the offensive team is already in the front court after securing the rebound.

This was an experimental rule in the 2019 NIT, as well.

International ball = metric measurements.

6.75m = 22' 1.75"

 

[Remo Gaggi]

Does this mean J Bobo hok won't make as many threes?

 

[KKramer]

They need to fix jump balls. Instead of alternate possession, do it like the NBA does and make the two tied up players jump for it. Makes for less incentive for guys to just try to tie up offensive players to get the ball back.

Ah, metric. Now it makes sense.
