Sorry if anyone objects to my responding to 2 week old topic....

The thing that surprised me is that 3PT% didn't show much movement from 2002 to 2011, but maybe 2010-2011 was a relatively weak year.
After the change, you expect a drop off. And you expect the numbers to improve over the next 3-4 years as the then-current players have more years of practice with the new distance.
Btw, the only Stanford players to show up in the rankings in the years above was Jeanette in 2011, as #19 at 41.7%, and Krista (#12, 43.8%) and Candice (#14, 43.3%) in 2006.
Here are the best FG% for 2002 - 2013 per year. It seems odd that the numbers dropped in the last two years. I doubt it was the movement of the 3pt line. Officiating?
66.1, 66.2, 65.7, 67.1, 67.0, 70.7, 64.7, 67.8, 66.4, 71.4, 62.3, 60.7
