I recommend a large Jayhawk in the middle.

May I suggest forgoing lines for basketball and just using a belt for out of bounds and using permanent 2" by 2" square floor markers for the intersections of the volleyball court bourdary lines and using removable gym tape for volleyball season.

What? That would be a pain in the neck.

The lines for basketball court and volleyball court can very easily co-exist. The biggest issue is sharing the centerline. Once that is set, the rest is easy. Just make the centerline the basketball color (usually black) and make the rest of the volleyball court red or gold or blue or white...doesn't matter.

Pain in the neck??? We're talking six pieces of tape attached to predetermined markings once a year, not rocket science.

Being a church gym, my guess is that this gym is used for several activities beyond basketball and volleyball. Also volleyball probably isn't played strictly in one season. That tape isn't going to stay down more then a few weeks. Someone would be putting tape down several times per year.

I would never plan to regularly use tape on a floor when it's being repainted anyway. Do the job right. There are thousands of gyms across the US that have both sets of lines on their floor (and some with several more sets) that have no trouble with them.

The only thing about marking a coaching box is next year they will change the dimensions yet again.

I agree, paint 'em on. Just make sure you use contrasting colors. Otherwise some hapless rookie might accidently let a player shoot freethrows from the volleyball line. At least the crowd seemed to think I did. I was too nervous to notice

It's incidental contact...until the referee decides it is a foul.
