University of Louisville athletics director Vince Tyra unveiled a new design for Denny Crum Court in the KFC Yum! Center Thursday morning. The new design features the “Dunking Cardinal” at midcourt, while the baselines pay homage to both Freedom Hall and the city of Louisville.
Louisville athletics worked in conjunction with adidas Basketball on the timely new court design, which required an update once the NCAA Rules Committee ruled to move the Division I men’s 3-point arc back to match the international distance of 22 feet, 1 ¾ inches.
