I think that'd be pretty easy for them to figure out after all these years of making anime; it's not like JC Staff is a new company, and even if the staff for this particular show were composed entirely of new guys, you'd think somebody would come up with this idea. If you do something like taking a manga and then changing it significantly without warning, the best you'll do is scare off potential viewers. And lo and behold.

Some points:
a) Geneon is promoting this series - not the creative team and not the production studio (the series producers aren't from J.C.Staff either, but I digress).
b) If the director mentioned that the series centers on friendship, doesn't it mean that someone already suggested a potential change in focus? The pre-release seiyuu interviews also promised a large helping of Kuroko's obsessive advances, so this didn't come without warning.
c) Regardless of what anyone says, some people will moan and bitch anyway. In this market, expectations are set once an adaptation is announced.
