Seth Davis has a good piece about the NCAA politics going into moving the 3-point line back from 19′ 9″ to the International line of 20′ 6″. The lane might also get widened, but I wouldn’t count on it. Interesting to learn that it would cost around $15,000 to strip and paint a new line and wider lane. Make the decision soon. Pitt will already have to strip the surface for the new logo.
Ken Pomeroy has some nifty charts on the way the college game has been played. He notes the every slower pace of the games as teams play more and more defense, and the continuing increase in number of 3-point shots per game.
