The NCAA Rules committee recommended to move the 3 pt line to 20 ft. 9 inches for the 2011-2012 season (current line stands at 19'9'').
After researching shots made in front and behind the 20'9'' line during the past season, it was found that women shot 33% from behind the line, 30% in front of the line.
The Pioneers often shoot behind the line, so the new rule shouldn't impact our team greatly. Since the line was installed on our court for the men's game, the women have often visually located their shots using the second line.
We will be sure to train this summer for the longer shots!
See here for the NCAA recommendations. They are also suggesting a 10 second back court clock. Final voting for all rules will occur in early June.
