Then again there have been many reports about what actually motivated this and why these kinds of trees and colors were used.

From a Yahoo article:

Quote:
Considering Oregon's deep-rooted ties to Nike, it shouldn't surprise anyone that Tinker Hatfield is the designer of the floor. Hatfield, a former Oregon track and field star and vice president of design and special projects for Nike, designed many of the shoes from the famed Air Jordan line.

Ah, but if I'm paying for someone to paint your house and you choose a horrible paint color pattern, and it's going to be advertised world wide with my son's name (including my last name) on it, you can bet your last dollar I'd be approving of the final product and involved in its development.

Fair enough. But if they are paying for the paint, and your choices are let them paint it or watch it rot down, you may have to make a tough decision about the solution to the problem.

I was simply pointing out who designed the court. I honestly hadn't really followed along with the little argument that was going on.

And I was simply saying who was responsible for the idea. And who is responsible is not necessarily the person that actually did the design. Someone can give the designer the ideas or the vision and you run with it.

For those in the Pacific Northwest that haven't had a chance to see the new Oregon Couirt, tonight at 6 PM PST on Fox Sports Northwest the Lady Ducks play against Stanford.

It might be on in other parts of the nation as well though not sure
