I think the point that Knicks411 is trying to make, and it is entirely valid, is that Kohls would have been guarded much differently if the shots he was taking were worth 50% more points than they were when we was taking them.
In the entire 3-point era of college basketball history, only one player has ever averaged >5 threes a game (Darin Fitzgerald at Butler), and that was in 86-87, the first year that the 3 pointer was introduced across all conferences. Usually the college leader makes somewhere between 3.8 and 4.5 threes per game.
Sure that's a valid point but that's the problem with comparing eras. They may have guarded differently based on the difference how college referees called fouls/moving screens etc in each era too. From 1968 till 1976 or 1977, dunking was banned in college basketball which also had to effect strategy, degree of physical contact, perhaps even promoted better shooting etc. The game has changed so much (not all of it's good and not all bad either) , it makes it really difficult to even compare the same statistics between eras.
