Texline, TX.....my freshman year of ball had a brand new state of the art floor. It was a matte finish so low slipping because of no glossy wax, and there was this air cushion beneath it and if you lay on the court and watched players run down the court, esp. heavier ones you could see the floor give. (The coach had us do it to show us what the floor did for us as players.) That year I had very little issues with any injuries. Now the HS I graduated from had a floor that was this rubbery tartan crap slapped on top of cement. The injury rate was so much higher on that POS floor. Its partially why I stopped playing ball, injury wise, my last two years. Thankfully they've put in a wooden floor now, so I'm more than willing to officiate that gym now, I just wonder how the give is, if its any different from the no give tartan or there's some now that its wood.
