This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Have Not Heard of WCBB Following Suit, But It Makes Sense by dillon77

..for many of the reasons mentioned: keep distances uniform at as many levels as possible, less lines on courts (without a change, you'll see two lines in Purcell Paviliion next year).

SkinsHoops86 was thinking about this a tad last night:

"If this change comes to WBB in a couple of years, will this make zone and pack line defenses less effective, assuming shooting percentages stay similar? I could see a 1-2 year drop in 3pt% but think kids would adjust and it would go back to normal."

Dillon's druthers: If 3-pt. percentage adjusts to the further distance, defenders will have to step out to cover, which could lead to gaps in the middle of zones. Quick ball movement would be essential on offense, so ND will be well-served.

On the other end, need to have agile defenders...preferably with long arms to get to those spots.
