3 Point Line/New Floor

Obviously, the 3 point line is moving back a foot this year for men's basketball.  However, the women will still shoot the 3 from the previous line.  I only bring this up because having multiple lines on the floor 1) Will be confusing for officials (who we know need no help in sucking in the pac) and 2) Aesthetically, it just kind of looks bush-league.

Most schools will have this problem, because the men and women share the same court.  I couldn't even tell you a University that has separate facilities, but I know a few do exist.  Point is, this affects most Universities.  My thought is to have a solid line from the women's line to the men's.  It would be about a foot thick, but it might solve those problems.  On the inner side of the arc, the color could be yellow, with the rest of the solid men's arc in blue.  Anything shot behind the yellow would be the women's line and anything behind the blue would be the men's.  It would eliminate confusion and there would only be one contiguous line.   It would help the classic look of Nell & John Wooden Court; and if we stand for anything at UCLA, it's tradition... any thoughts on how to recommend this?  Is it even a good idea?

I've seen ties when they use temporary lines

Some schools may choose to make the men’s line permanent and the women’s line temporary. The women’s line would go on for weekends they’re at home and and come off when the men’s team is at home.

Makes sense to me

but what makes sense to us and what makes sense to the Morgan Center are two different things.

I thought a solid line was the best idea too

But it would be interesting to see what it would look like.

hmmm...

what do they do at madison square garden? they have college games every year and is also home to the knicks, how do they handle multiple 3-point lines? i don’t think it’s been or will be an issue, even aesthetically

The difference is

The new college line is a lot closer to the old college line than the NBA line is.
