King for a day

Go to 3-2-1 scoring on field goals.

Change the FT lane to the FIFA trapezoid or a small semi-circle and treat it just like the current two point area of the court, only make shots taken from there worth only a single point. The court would now have three areas with point values of 1, 2, and 3 for goal made from therein.

This would return the value of the mid-range jumpshot to the game and the overemphasis on dunks and big guys would be greatly reduced. The game of basketball should be about skill, not just sheer size. It sickens me to see people being handed so much money in our society simply because they are tall or large, yet don't have any real talent or skills.

That would be an interesting idea, however shouldn't half-court shots be made 4 points? Especially since not everyone can make these shots?

Use NCAA Timing rules (2 halves). For Boys', use the new NCAA-M 3-pt. line.
