I'm surprised no one thought to make the center circle a watermark basketball and then in homage to our standards have a deflated basketball superimposed so both teams from their bench can see the deflated basketball that has been an important theme for our program. Not an artist but if I were, that's what I would put at center court!

We could also put John Carroll's image at center court, but that too would look like garbage.

I would much rather see the deflated basketball designed as a sculpture or statue placed in connection with the Thompson Athletic Center.

We could make a stereogram court and have a giant deflated basketball pop out of the Kente Cloth/G pattern.

whipple - any more updates on feedback from the staff or additional submissions? You've done a great job by the way and are clearly talented. I think I'll contact the person running the contest to see if they can create a pinterest board or something that shows all submissions. Will help with the final push.

I was under the same impression. But I am thinking that the new court might just be for McD.

If this isn't for Verizon it would be pretty disappointing. FWIW, the original WaPo story linked in the beginning of this thread says it's for Verizon.

We reached out to GU--design was for verizon, there was a mix-up in the post. appears to be deleted some really cool submissions at the gu hoyas site: www.guhoyas.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/court-design-contest.htmlI really like others' submissions, particularly #s 15, 16, 20, 22 and 26. I may have to submit some more! Hmm, perhaps I should have . . . more kente?

Virtually all of these seem way too busy for me.
