Andy Katz is reporting that although a change will most likely happen soon, the college 3-pt line will remain the same next year. Right now, there is no consensus on far to move it back, and what type of corresponding change, if any, is needed for the 3-second lane. From a Bruin perspective, I suspect the current, closer 3-pt arc probably benefits us next year, as we remain a perimeter-oriented team. of course, had the lane been widened, it probably would have benefited us by reducing physical play under the hoop, so it's quite likely that this lack of rule changes is a wash. In any event, the width of the lane is no big deal to me, but the 3-pt line needs to be moved back. The 3-points should serve as a reward for making a relatively difficult shot, which clearly is not the case right now. another change that i would like to see, but will NEVER happen, is the widening of the entire court. with players getting bigger and more athletic, they take up more space and cover more ground than ever before. a wider court would allow a freer flow on offense, leading to less contact and more scoring opportunities. athleticism and basketball skills would be more valuable than just brute strength and size. the nba needs to institute this change as well. but widening the court would mean less highly-coveted, extremely expensive courtside seats available, so this is one idea that will remain 100% theoretical, in both college and the pros.
