You see, 1967 was the first year of the 3-point shot among basketball's top leagues, and the players and fans weren't used to it. A lot of the 2,500 in attendance that day thought that the Harkness miracle tied the game and forced overtime. In fact, he was 68 feet behind the brand new 3-point line.

Donovan, who earned the moniker “Billy the Kid” as a sharpshooter for Pitino, shot 43 percent (97-of-227) from 3-point range his senior year and averaged 20.6 points per game. When he became a coach, Donovan didn’t forget the charms of the 3-point shot. “It’s the great equalizer in college basketball,” Donovan said.

Michael Jordan is a perfect example of that. He played college basketball at North Carolina without a 3-point line. In his rookie season with the Chicago Bulls, he was 9-for-52 from 3-point range. He never shot better than 20 percent from long range until his fifth season in the NBA.

After the NCAA expanded the tournament in 1985, it added a shot clock the next season and the 3-point line the year after that. The result: The game has never been the same. The 3-point line. The addition of the 3-point line forever altered basketball strategy.

The NBA brought about the 3 pointer during the 1980 season. College and high school soon followed during the 80s but at different distances for the arc. First, the basics. When a player shoots behind the 3 point arc which for the high school game is 19′ 9″ from the basket. If a player makes the shot behind the arc, he or she is awarded 3 points instead of the usual 2 points.

The 3-Point Shot Now Welcome in College Basketball. In 1982, college basketball's scoring reached a low point. The ACC Tournament title game featured North Carolina using a four-corner delay offense against Virginia. The Tar Heels won 47-45 but the game made for poor viewing to a nationally televised audience.

It was the 3-point shot, a weapon first introduced nationwide to college basketball during the 1986-87 season. Sixty-five percent of the National Association of Basketball Coaches were opposed to the rule in a preseason survey. Pitino, however, loved it.
