I remember reading that article as a 5'-09" junior guard in H.S. on a varsity basketball team that had six players between 6'-04" and 6'-09" on the team.
As I re-read the article a wave of nostalgia came over me to read the names of all of the college coaches of the past.
Okay, back to the present. I truely believe that eventually that the basket will have to be raised to eleven (11) feet for the NBA and FIBA (Men's Olympics and Men's World Championships) first. But it will not be in my lifetime. Eventually, it will be raised for both men's and women's competition at all levels. It will eventually for all age groups.
