I believe the sucking will not matter as much. When you move the line back as significantly as this, 3-point percentage will go down. This will hurt the good 3-point shooting teams more than NU, which will simply continue to suck.This is either great news or terrible. We sucked *** from 3 last year. So this year we'll either suck more or the sucking won't matter as much.

Oh how I'd love to have a great long range shooter commit to the 'Cats.
Should spread the floor more. Don't know if it's good for NU, but should be good for the game.
Agree good for the game the college 3 has become too easy. Junior high kids can hit that shot nowadays. But not good for us because I think good shooters will adjust and mediocre shooters will struggle and we are more in the latter right now. Also I think we play by packing on the defensive side but that may be harder with more spacing hanging to guard out another 2 feet.
My advice to your son would be to watch the Warriors games and study Curry. He's the best in the game and not a "volleyball line" guyWith the high school 3 now significantly shorter than the college 3, identifying truly good shooters will be more difficult. For the past few months I've been encouraging my son to take more "volleyball-line" shots instead of toeing the 19-9 line. The other good shooters his age in the area are doing the same thing.
There was a thread about this some time back, but today it is official: the NCAA will adopt the International distance, moving from 20'9" to 22'1 3/4". Will be interesting to see how this affects the game, if at all.

I'm well aware of what Curry does from deep and have watched him many times. When you referenced the "volleyball line" I thought you meant a more flat line shot with little arc. Apparently what you really meant was that your son is practicing longer 3 point shots. As long as he continues to emulate Curry, he should be fine.Stephen who? It might surprise you to know that Curry takes plenty of shots from 28 feet and beyond (the NBA 3 line is just short of 24 feet). Time limitations prevent me from digging into more complete stats, but in 2015-2016 alone he was 50 of 104 from 28 feet and beyond.
My son's a freshy and currently is a little taller than Curry, and he certainly studies his shot, as well as that of Klay Thompson and others, frame by frame. At the high school line he can already accomplish the John Beilein 50-in-5 drill. "Volleyball line" is just shorthand for deeper 3s than the high school line.

One of our former top players used the flat line type 3 point shot. Can you name him?Curry practically invented the ‘volleyball line’ shot.
Weird.
And, as I now understand, the "volleyball line" shot is simply a long range "3" Many pro players, including some big guys like Kevin Durant, are very good at the shot, but Curry is clearly the best. Unfortunately, NU has nobody even remotely resembling the top 50 in the NBA, which was the point of the whole discussion in the first place.Curry practically invented the ‘volleyball line’ shot.

Vic has a pretty low trajectory on his shot. And a release that is somewhat similar to Kawhi, though maybe that's overly complimentary.One of our former top players used the flat line type 3 point shot. Can you name him?
I presume Chores meant Johnny Cash.Vic has a pretty low trajectory on his shot. And a release that is somewhat similar to Kawhi, though maybe that's overly complimentary.
