I don't necessarily agree with this but y'all who are acting like this is crazy need some perspective, they've made changes in sports that have fundamentally change it all the time throughout history.

Just in basketball alone:
- Creating the 3 point line
- not letting a free throw shooter cross the line before the ball hits the rim
- adding the charge circle
- implementing the shot clock
- lengthening the 3 point line


So it's not some crazy unpresidented thing

You do know college baseball fields are smaller than the professional ballparks, right? And they use wooden bats in the pros, but I mean, what's the point? Baseball players have been using aluminum bats since tee ball
If you think the difference between hitting with an aluminum bat versus a wooden bat is comparable to the difference between shooting on a 10 foot hoop versus an 11 foot hoop then you've never shot a basketball in your life

Horrible analogy

Let's just do it rock n jock style and have random 10 point shots scattered on the court and a 50 point 20ft basket

Except this is more like changing a football field to 175 yards instead of 100 just because it's not impressive to see some of the fastest athletes world sprint a shorter distance than that for touchdowns.

It's a cockamamie suggestion

A better rule change would be making the basketball hoop smaller in diameter by about 2 inches.

That's a bit much. I could see them move back the 3 point line a bit if they wanted since they've tweaked that before.

Pretty sure basketball is doing better than ever in their history right now .

Raising the goal is just a stupid thought from someone that has never played basketball.
You realize if the goal is an inch off, NBA players will notice it?

You do realize the direct correlation to this in basketball is the placement of the three point line and it is a further shot in the pros than all lower levels, right?
