The change is good, but they chose the wrong spaces to leave open. Those spaces in the front, when limited to when the ball hits the rim, are nearly useless. Missed free throws don't kick off to the side at a 90-degree angle. Often they kick at a 45-degree angle right to the shooter's teammate.

Seems kinda ridiculous to me...it's almost like they said "Well, we can't do it EXACTLY like the NCAA women's mechanic, so we'll change it a little bit"...will not change the fact that the best spot to be in will still be held by the offensive team.
