Committee proposes moving NCAA 3-point line
The NCAA Men's Basketball Rules Committee has proposed moving the 3-point line back to the international basketball distance, more than one foot farther than the current line.
The international 3-point line is 22 feet, 1¾ inches, while the current 3-point line is 20 feet, 9 inches. It was moved from 19 feet, 9 inches prior to the 2008-09 season.
The committee also recommended four other proposals:
• Resetting the shot clock to 20 seconds after offensive rebounds;
• Players being assessed Flagrant 2 technical fouls and ejections for using derogatory language about an opponent's race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability;
• Allowing coaches to call live-ball timeouts in the last two minutes of the second half and overtime;
• Conducting instant replay review for goaltending or basket interference calls in the final two minutes of the second half and overtime.
