The use of replay review across various professional and collegiate sports has, in most cases, proven to be an asset in making sure officials make correct calls. The NFL and Pete Rozelle were the pioneers of its implementation in 1986, with the NBA and college football and basketball eventually following suit in the early 2000s. Instant replay has since become a staple in each of those leagues, and is still extending its reach to other sports such as MLB and the NHL over the last few years.
Despite its relative consistency in helping referees see all parts of the field, it has yet to be fully applied in college lacrosse.
