Like that the new 3-pt line is consistent with the international game.  Should be nearly a non-event for most D3 teams to shoot from a foot further.

The new NCAA men's line is NOT consistent with the International line.  NCAA is 20'9", FIBA is 21'0"

The first and still most accurate description of the D3 Championship BeltTM thread.

Whether 20'6" or 21', I doubt many shooters will even notice a 3" difference from 20'9"!

I'd call it "consistent with the international game". ;)

Except, of course, for those who paint the floors. ;D  (Any courts that need lines for women, men, international, and NBA?  And is the WNBA any one of the above, or a different length entirely?)

FIBA is 6.25m, or roughly 20'6"

But they're changing, after the 2010 worlds, to 6.75m, or roughly 22'2" (and changing their foul lane to the NBA's rectangle from their current distinctive trapezoid).

In some of the construction pictures of our new athletic facility, you can see the two 3-point lines. The link is: http://www.olivetcollege.edu/construction/events_center/gallery.php.
