On Friday, the NCAA announced a proposal that would move the distance of the three-point line from the basket from the current distance of 20 feet, 9 inches to the FIBA distance of 22 feet, 1.75 inches. That’s a significant move back for the line, just under a foot and a half.
This proposal will be reviewed by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel on June 5 and if approved, the move would go into effect for the upcoming 2019-20 season.
Now just one step away (and likely just a formality) from the 3-point line behind moved back to FIBA distance for this coming season.
