Exclamation What were "they" thinking?

I don't know what architects or designers think sometimes. I mean, this court was made so there shouldn't be a game/spectators in it....

Elementary school gym, with teenagers 15U playing - first off they're too big for this gym.

Next, the sidelines are rediculous. Where the benches/table are there is no room to inbounds the ball. Literally inches from the court. Most parents have to stand, because if you sit......your feet may be on the court!

My least favorite part though is there is a really, really low, permanent/non-movable basket on the near sideline by the V bench. At one point I was in transition and called a foul.....as I raised my arm to signal the foul my hand/arm went up and into the bottom of the net! (I'm only 5'8") And, to top it off, it's a CHAIN net! Indoors? You're kidding me?

I sent a note to my assignor......sigh.
