Deadspin -- Mormon carpeted basketball courts

[Stoked]

I also played many, many games on carpet.

So like the Mormon places that do have hardwood floors, do they not clean them ever or rebuff them?

Sure they do. Ours got refinished just a year or two ago.

Just asking because the article says part of the reason for carpet floors was because of cost.

I didn't play a lot of basketball on carpeted floors (my home ward was hardwood), but when I was planning my wedding (later canceled), I wanted one of the gyms with carpet. It didn't look quite as weird.

Man, I do not miss those floors.

This.
Played on em a bunch. Hate em

They will periodically re-lacquer (?) them. I've ruptured both my Achilles on church hardwoods.

Double ouch.

My church basketball court was carpet along with my middle school gym. My brother ****ed up his ankle really bad to the point where he wasn't walking properly for a few months. I tell you I do not miss the carpet floors one bit. I distinctly remember the ball bouncing a lot differently on carpet compared to wood.
