Oh yeah, history is rife with attempts to change flooring on sports that didn't pan out, like Carpet Court or Blue Clay in tennis. For basketball, I walked on a Nike Grind court (Well, not 100% if was Nike Grind per se, but they said it was made out of recycled shoes so...) that they have at their Beaverton campus and the cushioning felt fairly noticeable.
