Summary
Kansas State women’s basketball coach Jeff Mittie criticized the Big 12 conference for alleged bias in promoting the men’s and women’s tournaments. He pointed out that the men’s tournament featured more elaborate graphics and light shows on the new digital court, which was not done for the women’s tournament. Mittie’s team had a successful run in the women’s tournament, winning three games before losing in the semifinals. The new court has received mixed reviews, with some players complaining about its slipperiness and distracting lights.

The habit gets a new name.
Jeff Mittie calls out the Big 12 for favoring the men’s tournament with fancy graphics and light shows. The women’s tournament gets the plain court treatment. The digital court is supposed to be a game-changer, but it’s more like a headache for some players.
Kansas State players hated the court, citing its slipperiness and distracting lights. Maybe Mittie’s team dodged a bullet by not having to play with all the bells and whistles. The Big 12 might want to rethink its court design and promotion strategy.
The irony is that the flashy court might be more of a distraction than a draw. Who needs all those graphics and lights when you can just play some good old-fashioned basketball?
