College to move 3 point line back 9 inches in 2004 05
The NCAA proposes moving the college 3 point line to 20 feet 6 inches for the 2004 05 season pending divisions two and three approval. The change keeps the rectangular free throw lane and aims to curb marginal shooters by stretching longer shots. Management councils meet in October with possible executive committee action later in the month.
