Volleyball has 2" line just like basketball should be.

The architect that designed our gym here was pretty dim. They specifically told the contractor not to touch the center logo. I brought up the shadow lines to make notion of where the center line is, but no they listened to the architect, so we have to put floor tape down and ruin the wax finish.

Also they put the score boards at mid-court on each side rather than on the ends to the side of each backboard? Last second shots are near impossible to keep an eye on the time and last second shot, rely way too much on the horn..

Apparently the architect had awards in his mind than the rules of basketball. There is a note somewhere in the rule book, or maybe on the court diagram, where there is an agency or something other that architects can contact for specifics in making sure their designs will be within the rules and all.
