10' side lines

In the 2001 NCAA rule book, the rules committee is suggesting that there be at least 10' of space between the sides of the court and the spectators. This is for all new gyms being built. The min requirment remains to be 3'.

Any thoughts on why the extra space on the side and not on the ends?

10' would be awesome! Then the teams could get two more rows of folding chairs up against the sideline, and a sideline throw-in would still hafta be at midcourt.
No idea about your question, though.
