Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 112940, member: 214"] that is what I expected, as well, but it's possible that there is a flip side - the presence of the arc might create a tendency in the refs to subtly adjust their calls - since if the defender is on the inside, it's always a block, then if they are on the outside the defender gets the benefit of the doubt on all the close calls. A perceptive coach watching the arc experiment in the NBA might have picked up on it, I don't know. Most likely it is just a happy accident, but when you know that your head coach watches just about every basketball game he can, it wouldn't surprise me if it was the latter. [/QUOTE]
