Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3966905, member: 5798"] True, some players do, some don't. Check out [B]Steph Curry[/B] and [B]Damian Lillard[/B]. Two of the NBA's most deadly long range shooters. The NBA could move the line back 12", it wouldn't bother them. Last night (Sat May8), the Warriors set a franchise record by making 27 three-pointers, with nine of their 10 healthy players connecting from deep (only Kevon Looney failed to get in on the action). Curry scored 49 points, and didn't play the 4th quarter. Anything inside the half-court line is within their range. There are some women players that have this same moxie and mindset. [B]Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis[/B] thought the ball was going in EVERYTIME she launched it regardless of where she shot it from. Would moving the line back 2" have caused her to take less 3's? I think not. Of course any time you shoot farther from the basket your percentage may go down, just as it will go up the closer you get. I don't expect to see less 3 pt. shots taken in WCBB next season because the line was moved back. My point is......................the small change in the new distance IS NOT significant enough to make a difference. Shooters gonna shoot. Their confidence in their ability to knock down 3's will not be deterred. A rule change I'd really like to see is [B]adding a 6th foul[/B] in [B]ALL[/B] levels of men's and women's basketball from AAU, high school and college. That would allow the best players on every team to stay on the floor a little longer, especially late in close and overtime games. The WNBA has a 6 foul rule. It works well for all the players and coaches. This rule would have kept ONO and Edwards in the game longer in the first half of games they picked up two fouls. [/QUOTE]
