1) Official notes, or is told by chseagle, that there are incorrect markings on the floor.
2) Official may, or may not, mention it to the site director.
3) Official may, or may not, mention it to his local board secretary, and/or, local assigner.
3) Local board secretary, and/or local assigner, may, or may not, report the situation to the state interscholastic sports governing body.
At this point, it's completely out of the hands of the officials, the local board secretary, and/or local assigner, and it's up to the state interscholastic sports governing body to do what they do.
Maybe nothing is done. Maybe gym tape is put down. Maybe the school won't be allowed to host a state tournament game. Maybe a nasty letter is placed in the school's permanent record. Maybe the school is placed on double secret probation. Maybe the correct markings are placed on the floor the next time the floor is refinished, which in the case of some schools, may be several years down the road.
Please note that in all cases, we're playing basketball that night, and every night that season, until someone from the state interscholastic sports governing body tells us otherwise. No officials are putting down tape. No technical fouls. No forfeits.
