NCAA Extends Three Point Line

The NCAA has decided to extend the three point line by a foot in the coming season. This should effect post play and bring back the mid-range jumper that had disappeared in the college came.

This is a wise move by the NCAA. It became to easy to sit back and drain threes over the defense. A foot shouldn't change the percentage that much and should create more room for post players and extend the zone defenses.

The athletes coming out of high school now are better with some being able to make the jump into the NBA effortlessly. Teams stockpiled three point shooters, using a three guard system and negated teams that used a traditional center.
