Players won't be slipping on giant decals for the remainder of the NCAA Tournament. The floors at the Final Four and the four regional sites, including Charlotte Bobcats Arena, weren't scheduled to get decals.

The future of the decals, which bear the NCAA logo, will be part of the NCAA's customary extensive review after the tournament.

"We're glad," said Steve Kirschner, UNC's associate athletic director for communications, "because we think it's certainly safer for the players."

During Sunday's second-round win against Arkansas at the RBC Center, UNC's Tyler Hansbrough and Marcus Ginyard slipped on the circular NCAA decal, which was more than 20 feet in diameter and centered at midcourt.

Williams opened his postgame news conference by saying the logos are dangerous. "Pull the dadgum things off," he said.

The courts at other first-round sites also had decals.

In an e-mail to the Observer on Monday, NCAA associate tournament director David Worlock wrote that tournament officials treated the floor before and during Sunday's games after learning players had been slipping.

Worlock wrote that the decals remained Sunday after the teams and referees indicated the condition of the court was acceptable.

"At the same time, any element that could conceivably impact the competition must be assessed," Worlock wrote, "and in the case of the court decals you reference, such a review will be undertaken."
