Correct me if I'm wrong, but as the "old" 3-point line is still in use for NCAA women, shouldn't both lines be painted on pretty much every floor in college?
Question: how much of a problem is it when the line is painted yellow against the "wood-colored" floor? I have seen two schools (San Francisco and California) use a yellow men's 3-point line (the book says that when both lines are there, they need to be different colors, and the women's line is supposed to be the same as the other lines on the court as it touches the top of the free-throw circle), and it's almost impossible to see it on HDTV.
