The tongue-and-groove planks are about 9 feet long and come unfinished or oiled, ready to glue down.
As a courtesy, the NCAA asks Connor Sports Flooring to offer the Final Four court to the champion that year. In the six years it has been in business with the NCAA every single title-winning men's team has bought the court. Florida won in 2006 at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis and has been playing home games on it since. When they repeated the next year in Atlanta, they bought the court again. The center logo hangs on the wall in their practice facility. The rest was chopped into squares, and logos from their other Final Four appearances were added and hung alongside them. Kansas, the 2008 champion, did the same. Last year's champ, Connecticut, bought the court and sold it off in pieces, as did 2010 titlist Duke.
The regional courts, however, are sold on the open market — opening the path for the Newark court to find its new home in Las Vegas, the footing for approximately 70 high school, college basketball and Harlem Globetrotter games at the Orleans Arena.But if not for a miscalculation, it could have been known as Danny Miles Court, named for Oregon Tech's legendary head coach.A small NAIA Division 2 school in Southwest Oregon, its director of athletic development, Russ McMahon, received a flash e-mail last April from Connor Sports Flooring. It offered used floors that would be sanded down then repainted with the college's color schemes and logo.

Find the right type of flooring for your home
Wally Darmaga's family business has been putting hardwood under Ontarians' feet since the 1940s. He has a simple piece of advice for people mulling over a new hardwood floor.“Make sure you know who's coming into your house,” says the owner of Darmaga Hardwood Flooring of Richmond Hill.True hardwood floors lend a home an air of timeless elegance, but they can be a royal pain if the wrong choices are made at the outset and the floor ends up badly scratched or warped by moisture. A four- or five-figure investment becomes a gift that keeps on taking.Many homeowers want more stimulating floorboards than what's available at the home renovation store.
Interesting choices are coming onto the market all the time, from reclaimed antique boards to irregularly shaped floors dreamt up by sophisticated software. But the basics still have to be done right — and be aware that builders don't always pay attention to the fine details. The wood must be properly acclimatized and installed, and the floor and finish must be appropriate to the local climate as well as the knocks and scrapes it will be subject to.And forget about real hardwood if you're looking to put a floor in a condominium or basement.“It's technically not really possible to install real wood on concrete,” explains Joanna Gerber, a realtor and co-owner of Gerber Hardwood Flooring in Barrie. Moisture buildup would warp the floor, and quickly.
“You would need to actually build up subflooring and most condominium boards will not allow that. For many reasons — the noise, the damage to the unit — the most useful type flooring for a condominium would be engineered hardwood flooring,” she says. Engineered hardwood is a product that combines a thin, decorative surface layer of true hardwood with a particleboard base.Whatever the floor type, installation is a job for a professional. Testimonials are key, say experts in the industry, because it will be up to the installer to play matchmaker between hardwood and homeowner.
