Maybe, maybe not but I'm pretty sure they did it in the NHL didn't they? Or maybe it's just the NHL rink is different than Olympic?
edit: Yeah, the rink is just smaller. Never mind.
Rinks have only recently had any kid of standard. Many of these decisisons are based on the world championships, Lots of the rules I coah with in FIBA are designed to deal with things that happen at the highest level. The FIBA version of the clear path was made more harsh from the Russian women tripping, hacking all the teams that play at faster level.
Canada and the USA will be in the final when the ice size is North American size. Since they control the TV money it is tough for the European teams to change to the bigger ice.
You have got me thinkng about this. the NBA could just make the court two feet wider. There would be no reason for FIBA the NCAA to have to follow, but they might. I did a tour in Europe in the 80s, and the gyms there at the time were nonstandard, and most were smaller, but we played one in Germany that was wider. At that time the Euros were very methodical slower pace so when we pressed them in the small gyms it was effective, but that wide court was weird. There was no 3pt line then. I am old.
