We already know the men's 3 point line is going back, right? Has anyone been in a gym where they have redone it for this line?

i havent seen a gym with it moved back yet. I think everyone is going to need a shot clock with mounted on the support and led lights around the backboard pretty soon. Not this year though.

Salisbury University added teh new men's line over winter break. I was working their first women's game after that and during the first time out the assistant from SU asked me which 3 point line we were using!!!

No. Closer to the international line. However, the international line will be moving back in the coming years.

INDIANAPOLIS -- An NCAA committee has recommended changing the goaltending rule so that a ball that is completely above the rim and has already hit the backboard could not be touched, regardless of whether it is on an upward or downward flight.

Doesn't this rule already cover the situation?

NCAA Rule 4 Section 34. Goaltending Art. 3. When the entire ball is above the level of the ring during a field-goal try and contacts the backboard, it is considered to be on its downward flight. In such a case, it is goaltending when that ball is touched by a player.

I gotta be honest. I've never seen this article before you posted it. I thought it was the new proposed article, but it's in the book already. Wow, that's a horrible oversight on my part.

This was actually an unannounced change in the '07-'08 book. I looked at the previous year's book and the entire article is missing. This would've been a good thing to let us know about.

You mean maybe before the 07-08 season?

Such a small change, why bother even pointing it out.

Anyway, if you passed on this play last season and you told the coach it doesn't matter that the ball hit the backboard you were wrong. Isn't life funny sometimes?

Apparently nobody told this year's rules committee about it either.
