If only we still had Elijah Clarance.... Hopefully on the overseas trip, the guys will be playing the international 3 pt line.

Also, coaches can again call time outs during live ball action but only in last 2 mins of second half or any OT period.

I like both changes, but would welcome the 3 point line being pushed back even further as the game has virtually become jumpers and layups only, with no mid-range action.

I still say....reverse shot values....3 Points for layup/dunk, 2 points inside the arc....1 point for long crap.

More than a foot further. Now we will see who the real shooters are and if drivers take advantage of the extra space in the lane.

The NCAA was becoming a layup or 3PT only style of game. If this change helps rid the scourge of "positionless" basketball at ISU and elsewhere, I'm all for it.

I would be perfectly fine taking it back to 23 or even 23 1/2 feet. Pure/true shooters will still find the bottom of the net, and maybe it will reduce the volume of mindless heaving/jacking up of shots we see today.

Speaking of 3s, VanVleet destroyed oakland from 3 in the 4th quarter tonight.

I qlso bet MiKyle is a very happy man.

If I remember correctly, he was playing with Toronto's G-League affiliate.

He was the last player to make their 15 man roster. He had a great playoffs. Lots of 3s. Not fast, but very good with distributing the ball and getting to his spots on the floor for shots. A little VanFleet arrived during the Bucks series and he flew back game day and ended his shooting slump.
