The NBA Board of Governors have approved the implementation of in-game challenge flags for head coaches next season, The Athletic's Shams Charania reported on Tuesday.
The league passed the measure after informing teams last month that coaches may be able to challenge a personal foul charged to their team, a called out-of-bounds violation, a goaltending violation or a basket-interference violation. NBA Basketball Operations President Byron Spruell previously told teams in a memo that the rule will be in effect during the 2019-20 season as a one-year pilot program.
Unlike the NFL, the NBA challenges will not include physical flags.
