NCAA considering moving 3 point line back

It might be slightly more difficult to make 3-pointers next season.

The NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee has proposed moving the 3-point line back to the international basketball distance, more than one foot farther than the current line.

Probably a good idea, gets kids more prepared for the NBA.

Btw, there's another interested proposed rule change: resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds after offensive rebounds

Moving it back probably doesn't hurt a lot of players since they're typically a ways behind the line anyways. Only already marginal 3-point shooters are going to take a major hit.

Seems fine to me. The shotclock thing is also a good idea.

The line is now moved back and the shot clock will only reset to 20 seconds after an offensive rebound:
