Your assumption is unwarranted, and will likely prove incorrect.

Well, you can always dream. Hope springs eternal. 🤗

Some minor administrative details remain unresolved, but it appears likely that two recent North Central 🏀 graduates, both of whom enjoyed noteworthy careers, will soon enter the D3 coaching ranks.
Confirmation and further details to follow as they become available.

North Park has a new design on the gym floor. While this is the third time that the crackerbox floor has gotten a new look over the past dozen years, this one's a pretty bold departure.

Wow, that looks snazzy.

But what does Vin Diesel think?

The video made me nauseas and never felt like I got a clear view of the floor - other than I think it's the city skyline?  Could be pretty cool.

Here's a video I took before the sealant went down https://twitter.com/VikingsNPU/status/1423698182920450054. Not the best footage (plastic wrap on bleachers, court not complete, lights not on) so I left it out. Your suspicions are correct - that's the Chicago skyline. Apologies for any nausea triggering.

Looks really nice, thanks for sharing that video.  I'm getting older with progressively worsening eye sight (4 hours on zoom daily doesn't help).

Those of you who have been to games at North Park over the past three years will have noticed that the new scorer's table has the Chicago skyline incorporated into its front panel. (You can't see it on webcasts, because the camera is on the same side of the gym as the scorer's table.) Thus, the new floor design matches the equipment that's already used for basketball games in NPU Gymnasium.

I really like the skyline design, and I'm glad that the school is finding new ways to incorporate it into campus spaces. It's distinctive, which is always a big plus in my book, and it absolutely makes sense from a marketing standpoint to draw attention to the fact that North Park is a Chicago-based university.

A VERY nice looking design now adorning the gym floor at North Park. Hard to imagine a design tying an urban institution with its iconic skyline any better than that. Congratulations to NPU.

Via @d3playbook on Twitter, I saw Oglethorpe of the SAA post pics of their new all-black court. Ghastly. Of course all the comments were like "yo this is sick, this is fire!" - some people have no taste, I guess.

It's been all-black for at least a few seasons.  The black court does not necessarily fit the wood-beam construction and historic look of the gym, but it looks way better in-person with the bleachers out and teams on the court.

Congrats........

Although it has not been publicly announced as yet, other circumstances involving social media now allow me to report that former North Central standout Aiden Chang will soon head east to hunt for a new domicile in the Granite State. That's due to the fact that Aiden has secured a position as an assistant coach with the Keene State (NH) men's basketball team. While at Keene, he will also work remotely and retain his consulting position with Accenture.

Among his other exploits, Aiden is North Central's all time leader in games played. Unfortunately, as many will remember, this resulted from a gruesome injury against Wheaton and POY Aston Francis.
Aiden was widely praised for the fortitude he displayed in rehabilitating to the point of being able to return to competition.
Congrats Aide.

That's a great coach to work for and not a bad little town.
