Message: [QUOTE="HuskylnSC, post: 3309155, member: 7953"] The women already have a compensating advantage in the size of the ball which is 1 inch smaller and two ounces lighter. I will favor any rule change that promotes team work and athleticism as factors for victory. I much more enjoy a well run offense as opposed to a typical drive to the lane, let the defense collapse and kick out for a wide open 3. For me, 3 pointers don't excite me unless they are made under duress. Being able to hit a wide open 3 is more a function of repetitive practice then athletic ability and is boring basketball. For me, I love to see the hard cut of a tight screen, a full speed slash, handling a threaded pass, and powering through the defense for a tough layup. I'm also fully aware the 3 pointer does broaden the number of players who will engage in the game. KML was a delightful lady to watch perform, but I wonder if I would have seen her play without the 3 point shot rule. (and perhaps my views were based on the fact that I had no outside game and was a slasher myself :() [/QUOTE]
