Ok, since we are all going into an “I wish mode,” here is mine. Has anyone given consideration to raising the height of the baskets for both college and the NBA? Make the NCAA basket 11’6” or 12’ and the NBA 13’. This would take a good part of the reason for camping in the lane away.

I've always said with the NBA - the ball is too small, the floor's too small, the basket's too low.

These suggestions sounds ridiculous. But until attendance drops, things won't change. In fact, the "3, 2, 1" scoring proposed by Nevadaref is interesting. Consider what the game would be if it were implemeted. My guess is 3 guard offenses would be the way to go. And the block/charge call would happen half as much. But there would be a lot of "discussion" about "Was that a 2 or a 1?"
