Today, the NBA Board of Governors approved the use of Coach’s Challenges for the upcoming 2019-20 season. The challenges have already been experimented with in both the G-League and Summer League, so the implementation should be simple.
In case you missed the report, here are the plays coaches can challenge:
- Fouls on a team’s own players
- Out-of-bounds
- Goaltending
- Basket interference
Coaches only get one challenge per game and have to twirl their finger to initiate the review. Like the NFL, the team must have a timeout remaining to use a challenge.
