I haven't weighed in yet, and I'm not quite sure I care enough to do so now.

I'd take an Oregon type Court but with wheat around the outside in a second....if we had thought of it first. But we didn't so this is fine by me.

Would love to see us do something similar, only instead of trees, it would be like a POV from a feed bunk with a bunch of cattle staring at you. We could call it "The lot".

This would be incredible. Get one of the feed companies to put their name on it and give K-State money.

First time trying double quotes in response to quote on tapatalk. Not sure how this will turn out.

Apparently the dark portion of the court was not supposed to be that extreme. Also, the court darkens over time... so it won't get any better.

sorry dark-haters....

The practice courts in the new facility will be the same design but K-State will be going with a "lighter" stain inside the 3-point line like it was supposed to be in Bramlage.

so who made the mistake? did anya pick out the wrong stain from the store. or was it the floor's contructor? can't it be restained?

steve dave · « **Reply #659 on:** March 02, 2012, 09:48:06 AM »

Is a new gym floor actually that expensive? I mean, hayseed western kansas high schools get new ones all the time.

WildcatNkilt · « **Reply #660 on:** March 02, 2012, 09:53:03 AM »

I'm sure it was one of those "Oh yea sample looks good in this bright light I'm sure it will look just fine" ...to..."oh crap this is a lot darker than it was supposed to be o well players need to play and coaches need to coach we'll just roll with it."

With our basketball budget....a new floor is a pretty big expense.

I really wish I could explain how awesome this facility will be for the program. The locker rooms in Bramlage are a few steps below Hayseed Western Kansas lockers rooms. If I was a recruit...I would walk in a laugh.

Pretty

guys....

It's not the expense, its the fact that until the new practice facility is built they can't ship off the floor for 2 or 3 weeks to get re-finished. Getting the floor re-finished is not that expensive in light of $100 million dollars spent or about to be spent on athletic facilities. Michigan's new floor as I recall is probably the best example of what ours should look like.

Right...but until now Basketball hasn't received jack crap for money. The current locker rooms have not been touched since Martin has been at K-State. I mean 6+ year old Gatorade and sweat stains on the carpet are pretty disgusting.

Um, while I agree the dressing rooms at Bramlage are inadequate, and its good that they are going to be relegated to primarily game day usage. I believe they have had at least a handful of upgrades since Huggins and Martin have shown up.

I also believe they completely overhauled the basketball weightroom in the indoor facility across the parking lot when Huggins arrived. That's actually a pretty sweet set up, because they can use the indoor facility for agility drills and then walk right into their weight room. Of course the practice facility will be much better.

You can blame Tim Weiser for all the foot dragging on the practice facility, but be happy kids, according to K-State Athletics IRS Form, "The Weiser Way" picked up a $300K payment from K-State athletics in FY 2011 . . . thanks Jon Wefald.

Why don't they just put the existing floor in the practice facility and put one of the practice facility floors in the OOD?

I'm just going to guess that the two courts in the practice facility are made to be one "giant" court...not two separate courts. Further, the one in the Bram is probably custom built to fit the space along the sidelines and to the tunnel, and I'm sure the dimensions of the practice facility are different.

As a current floor hater, I approve of this plan.

I feel validated that the dark wood was indeed a mistake.

Dims are definitely different, and yes there will be a garage door thing between the two gyms that allow them to combine/divide spaces.

Just be glad we aren't the school that mis-measured the space and couldn't fit the practice courts in. That would be just absolutely embarrassing.

Yes...to more than one Div 1 basketball team.

The floor in Bram is meant to be removed for other events. I'm sure the practice facility is a permanent floor.
