What is the worst surface to play on? Quicksand. Really tough to get a good vertical, and you don't get that big sweet bounce when you pound one down inside the 10 foot line. Still not as bad as playing on a bed of alligators. |

The reason wood basketball courts have "give" to them is that they aren't actually sitting directly on the cement underneath it. They're sitting on a raised grid of "pads" (not sure what they're actually called). This allows the floor to have some flex and bounce.
Wood looks great, if your school is rich/fortunate enough to have a separate gym for vball where the wood can be permanently painted for vball.
Play vball on a wood court painted for basketball, should be against the rules.

From a current players perspective the worst burns came from sport court. The sport court at big tournaments is also almost always NASTY. Like if you wearing a white jersey and dive once it’s now black

I can’t believe the Final Four/National Championship are played on a sport court...

I love a nice carpet with a deep pile. It's easy on your elbows.

Agreed, from pretty much all aspects. Wood can be VERY slippery if the maintenance isn't perfect. |

What is the worst surface to play on? One time I played on Lewis university’s track training facility’s floor for a tourney. Idea what surface it was but it was awful and felt like a tennis court |
