Talking with my partner (she was good enough to play in college) and her thought was that my idea would basically kill the midrange jumper, but tbh, I’m fine with that.
Anyway, my idea for the 4 point arc isn’t to create a second arc but to use the current 3 point line and have those shots score 4, while awarding 3 to shots in the paint and 2 to everything else in the perimeter. This is less about me wanting to gear offenses even more to being reliant on shooting 3’s (4’s), but more about encouraging more scoring in the paint.
Any thoughts?
I think they should move the 3 point line back 1.5 ft. Enough to space the floor a little more and make 3’s a little more difficult.
The problem would be the corner 3’s. There’s so little space there already, you’d have to widen the court - which would also make things a little more interesting in terms of spacing.
