How would basketball be different if the rim were higher, high enough that layups and dunks are impossible.
Would tall people's advantage increase or decrease? On one hand, there is no longer a need for a big center to do inside shots. In fact, shots from very close to the basket might become very difficult, requiring shooting straight up. On the other hand, it is remains advantageous to be taller than the other person when shooting or defending.
We could compensate for the higher basket making shots too difficult by making the rim larger.
