College Basketball - Changing Rules
| | College basketball in 2005 is much different from the first college hoops game played more than 100 years ago. Here are some of the major rule changes in college basketball: |
| | In 1913, the bottom of the basketball net is left open for the first time - meaning it was no longer necessary to retrieve the ball from the net, once a basket was scored. |
| | In 1920, the backboards were moved two feet from the wall of the court. Before this rule change, players would "climb" the padded wall to sink baskets. |
| | In 1967, the slam dunk was made illegal! (What were they thinking?) The much-loved dunk was made legal again in 1976. |
| | In 1986, the three-point field goal is introduced with the three-point line set at 19 feet, 9 inches from the center of the basket. |
