No, the digital court is cool.  Slipping and falling has been a common occurrence through the years as the conferences & NCAA have played with ways to put customizations and advertisement on the court.

Edit: and in some cases because of condensation on the court. (Cough... Bradley center, dunk, aircraft carriers)

They are getting rid of it and going back to the hardwood.

Miami's WAB is 34 now.

It's so cool that the Big 12 is going back to the wood court for the rest of the tournament.

That court was really ugly and distracting when viewing.

?  During play it just looked like a regular grey washed court.  Better than TCU's or Oregon's courts.  Maybe not the most beautiful, but not distracting.  Timeouts were pretty wild.

I'm certain that I added the disclaimer "Probably not ready for primetime".

I didn't even know Christian Anderson got hurt slipping on the floor when I wrote my post last night. Thankfully, the Big 12 is pulling the plug on it and switching back to a regular hardwood court for the rest of the tournament.

The Big 12 commissioner is eating crow and, in retrospect, looks like a dope.

Absolutely bonkers to debut this for post season play.  Test extensively in the off season, then a buy game or two, before even considering this.
