1983 - it was a one-year rule in the Big 10. Not sure of rankings, but Kitchel shot 65% and Wittman 44%

If I remember right, the 3 point line was between the top of the key and free throw line, but not 100% certain.

Wow I was about to say the 3 pt goal didn’t happen in college until I think ‘86. Then you throw out one time.

I'm too young to remember watching this but I have never seen pictures or videos with the 3-point line closer than the top of the key. That would be pretty crazy if it was that close.

It just seems to me that it was a trial and it was inside the top of the key but I’ve been wrong before and 40 years ago has definitely clogged my memory!!!

I remember the ACC's being inside the key.

Wow. That's really....something. Who thought that was a good idea?

I liked it and wanted the IHSAA to adopt ACC rules in '83.

Several conferences had versions of a 3-pt line that they used in the 1982-83 season, mostly in conference play.

It was rumored that the shot clock and 3-pt shot were coming soon. The clock arrived in 1985-86 and 3-pt arc a year later.

When did alternate possession come about?
