NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2015 – The National Basketball Association today announced that the league’s Board of Governors has unanimously approved modifications to the instant-replay process for NBA games, beginning with the 2015-16 season.
This season, in addition to the three referees working each game, current NBA referees will be staffed in the Replay Center, making decisions on certain replay situations and facilitating the on-the-court review of others.
All replay reviews will continue to be triggered by the referees on the court. Once triggered, though, the final determination of certain reviews will be made by the referees in the Replay Center and then communicated back to the oncourt crew chief for administration of the call.
