lino may start tempting players
and create poor shot selection
by awarding an extra point,
while working the hall in for a
layup is more difficult and
worth only two points.
Research by the rules commit
tee found that Division I teams
will convert 3?l percent of their
three-point shots.
Girley is among the Pac-10
leaders in three-point shots, hit
ting 28 out of 55 attempts.
He estimates that HO pecent of
his shots in practice are taken
from beyond the three-point
line, and Oregon opponents are
aware of Girley's ability to make
the shot.
“Ever since the Montana
game, when I went seven for
eight on three-point shots,
they’ve (the defense) been more
conscious of me. I was suprised

when Arizona didn’t take me
closer.” said (iirley. who hit a
“three” with 10 seconds re
maining to defeat the Wildcats
January 3.
“With the three-point shot,
the losing team is never too far
behind — you’re never out of
it.” he said.
The NBA three-point line is at
23 feet 9 inches (22 feet in the
corners) and is used more as a
desperation shot. Of all shots
taken in the NBA. only 3.7 per
cent are three-pointers.
Many college teams, mean
while. include the three-point
shot as a regular part of their of
fense. “We always have a play
or two designed for it.” said
Monson.
“The first thing we try to do
on offense is get the ball inside,
try to penetrate.” said Taylor,
“and the shot opens up the mid
dle a lot more. It helps out the
players inside.”
The Ducks to date have made
48 of 108 three-point shots on
the season, including 7 of 15
against Arizona.
Those who favor the three
point shot tend to give three
reasons why the new rule is
good for the game.
One, it compliments the
45-second clock. The shot clock
was instituted so teams
wouldn’t have all day to work
the ball in for a good shot. To
avoid shot clock violations,
teams were being forced to
either make bad passes inside or
put up poor percentage shots
from beyond 20 feet. With the
three-point line, those 20 foot
shots don’t look so bad.
“We felt you couldn’t have
the 45-second clock without the
three-point shot.” said Steitz.
Secondly, it will open up
zone defenses, giving more
space for the larger players in
side. “You definitely have to
extend the zones,” said Mon
son, “which leaves more room
around the basket."
Finally, Steitz said “it will
put the outside shooters (who
tend to be shorter players) back
in the game.”
Cirley, who stands 5-foot-ll,
said, “I think it finally rewards
the shorter players. The taller
players have always had an ad
vantage inside, why not give
the smaller guys an advantage
outside?”
Will there be a trend of
recruiting more outside
shooters?
“1 don’t think it will change
recruiting,” Monson said.
“We’re always looking for
sharp-shooters anyway. But if
we come across three players of
equal ability and one happens
to shoot better from 19 feet 9 in
ches, we’ll take him.”
Asked if the three-point shot
will return next year. Steitz
replied, “it takes eight of 12
(committee members) to negate
a rule, and 1 don’t see that
happening.”
“We receive constant feed
back from coaches, players and
the news media,” he said. At a
NCAA meeting in San Diego
recently. Steitz said over 200
athletic directors told him they
were pleased with the shot.
“We’ll be sending out ques
tionnaires next month to
coaches and referees, and we’ll
be talking to people in the
NCAA, NAIA and junior col
leges about the shot,” he said.
