Players are not going to stop blasting away from the 3-point line by themselves. It is too easy. You don't have to get your uniform dirty. You don't have to endure the bumping underneath. It gets the big call-out from the PA announcer. They have no incentive to stop. In fact, it will only get worse.
So, the Powers That Be are going to have to change the rules to bring some sanity (and variety) back to the game. Probably the 3-point line will be moved back again. They should have removed the 3-shot penalty long ago. Maybe some other rule changes can be made to make the shot less appealing to coaches. Then, maybe, the coaches will make the players quit blasting away - but they will not do it by themselves.
