Big 12 Basketball Tourny on GLASS Floor

[Tanko]

This is crazy.

The basketball floor for the Big12 tourny is one HUGE TV screen. They can change the look of the floor with a touch of a button.

Interesting concept I wonder if it’ll affect the outcome of games

Can you imagine a random floaiting 3 point line.

Like 10 seconds into the shotclock it just appears at a random distance.

They could change the free throw distance based on where you're fouled.

All kinds of possibilities.

Pero, why change the normal floor?

Great question because it had to cost a butt-load to install that floor.

I hope they did thorough evaluations of this design.
If players start complaining about a "dead floor" or slippery spots there will be hell to pay.

Pero, why change the normal floor?

Because we can.

 

[BMR Genie]

Because we can.

Isn't it slippery?

 

[KVB]

Isn't it slippery?

Isn't a regular basketball floor, when wet?

 

[KVB]

Would be funny if they did 3d pranks on the court...

Make sense..

But, hope they don't change the look of the floor when the game is ongoing. Can cause a big distraction to players.

Yeah, I'm thinking crazy graphic on dunk, shot charts on the timeout, but a still floor during the action.

One could really mess with the players' perceptions with the flip of a switch, lolol.

Players commenting that the "glass" floor is slippery.
6 out of 8 players polled, said it was slick.

Anderson (Texas Tech) may have gotten and injury late in the ISU game today due to the slick floor. Looks like it might be a groin injury. Would suck for Tech heading into the dance if he's hurt.

Unders are 3-5 through last night in B12 Tourny.
