Birmingham, Ala. – This weekend the Southeastern Conference will implement a collaborative process for instant replay in the sport of men’s basketball as the 2017-18 conference season begins. Under this upgraded system for instant replay reviews, personnel operating from SEC Headquarters will assist the game officials for all monitor reviews in conference games.
“The implementation of collaborative replay in men’s basketball continues the SEC’s commitment to use the best-available resources to support correct outcomes when replay is used,” SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said. “This update to our replay review process is expected to more effectively support the Conference’s men’s basketball officiating program and build on the positive results we have experienced in football officiating through the use of technology.
