I just looked up Helena Bonham Carter, the actress who played Marla Singer. I had no idea how many films she's been in

If this idea proves itself as commercially successful, will we next see Glasstroturf™ for stadium sports?

To this day I am convinced that Kevin Ware of Louisville suffered that gruesome broken leg injury because the floor was elevated - and his body instinctively tried too hard to stop on a dime before falling off the edge. No way to prove that of course. But I think a regular floor level floor and his brain just lets his momentum carry him out of bounds.

She was never married to Tim Burton and they split a long time ago. He upgraded to Monica Bellucci.

Wow, what a terrible design they used in the images captured above - and I agree, the way the halfcourt "line" is being displayed isn't very good with it's super low contrast.
 
I wonder if this will impact officiating at all - like do will they still go to monitor to review a 2 vs 3 with foot on line? Or just use sensors on the court

I was a recipient of a torn up ankle, when our school introduced the rubberized gym surface in 1972. All many of us played on was hardwood floors. The rubberized floors was a whole new thing.

I loved those floors. I only really ever played on them in field house type environments at UConn and other places but I liked the bounce and it was easier on the body.

Early 80s, my HS soccer team visited a shoreline school. To get to the field we had to cross their new rubberized track. We were in awe. Our school had a gravel track.

As for the contrast issue, I feel like the Big 12 tourney has been using a variation of that weird monochrome grey for several years now. Assuming they just switch to a hardwood version of the same color scheme, it may still be an issue spotting the half court line, sidelines, etc.
 
Well that went about as I expected.

Kind of s___ty that they let the women's tournament go ahead with the bizarre and dangerous floor, but then changed it back after men's teams complained.
 
The 3 point line on the LED floor would light up after a made three. That has to be weird for the players.
