Complaints about Oregon's new court

chseagle · #1 (**permalink**) Sat Jan 15, 2011, 10:49pm

So now that the nation's had a chance to see Oregon Basketball's $227 Million home, the complaints are coming out in the media.

What are your thoughts of the court?

Do you like the NCAA-M 3-pt. line being white?

Have only seen an illustration. As long as all the markings adhere to the rulebook I don't see there being a problem.

As an official, I'm with BNR. They noted the division line is hard to see. I couldn't see it at all on TV, and I wondered how easy it was to see on the court. That could be a problem from an officiating perspective. That's about all, though.

As a fan, however, I found it hard to watch.

Looking at pictures & game recaps on ESPN, the division line really is not visible unless you're right on top of it.

There were complaints about the ribbon boards creating glare on the court, according to some reports I've been reading.

3-pt. line? The ENTIRE court is horrific. Made me think as if someone vomited all over the court upon first seeing it. Disgusting.

You can thank NIKE & Phil Knight for the court (at least that's what others are saying).

I got to see it up close and personal a couple weeks ago - the division line is very hard to see unless you're standing right on top of it & looking for it.

That's what I gathered from the comments on TV. That would be a PITA, IMO, as an official.

Another example of unique and innovative not necessarily equating to better IMO.

I vote yuk!

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
