I have nothing to gain from fools or cowards...When I disagree with a rational man, I let reality be our final arbiter; if I am right, he will learn: if I am wrong, I will; one of us will win, but both will profit.
I like taraflex. When I'm playing, I feel like it has the right amount of give and I like the feel when diving and sliding on it. As a coach, I've looked into installing in our gym, but the school didn't want to go for the cost of a new floor. The sales rep told me that the basketball international body says it's an ideal surface for basketball, but that American basketball coaches almost universally prefer wood. I wonder if this is a tradition thing? Wood courts can certainly look great and are traditional. From a playing perspective, though, taraflex seems much easier on the body when I'm on it.
It a tradition thing as you don’t get the same sounds of the ball bouncing off the floor as wood does.

As much of a promotional video as this seems, I 100% agree with everything they are saying. If I had the staff/time/storage to get the flooring up and down, I would 100% be all for getting it. It is just not happening at my level.
Taraflex over the hardwood is the way to go by far.
