Consider yourself lucky if you've never experienced this. With a dead floor it may not be the entire floor, but there will be spots that are questionable. I played on one in high school where you would be dribbling along and all of a sudden the ball would only bounce up a few inches off the floor. Our PG figured it out and when the other team was coming down the floor their PG wandered towards the dead spot and with a well timed swipe he was off and running the other way.
