The 3 point line for high school isn't the problem. The problem is at the lower levels of development. I hate to sit and watch an elementary game, or for that matter a middle school game, where kids are launching 3 pointers. I say if you do anything, you eliminate the 3 point shot from these levels and start teaching kids fundamentals again, like a mid-range jumper.

:thumb: I coach grade school kids...and you can see it at try-outs....their shooting form is horrible....all hip shots...because they need the extra Umph to shoot from that distance.....It takes half the season to break this habit.

I agree Xman. I too coached the grade school level for several years. I think that the grade school gyms should not even have the 3 point line painted on the floor.

No line before high school. Leave it where it is at the HS level. Move it back for college. The line is too close for the college game.
