NBA

Way back in 1999 the NFL decided to add the coaches challenge to the game a football. The ability for the coach to question a call, and perhaps get it overturned, has since become a staple of the game. Now, some 20 years later, the NBA looks to be jumping on board the replay review wagon.

According to ESPN's Zach Lowe, the NBA will allow coaches challenges during Summer League, and then plans a one-year pilot program for the 2019-2020 regular season. 

According to Lowe, a memo was sent out to all 30 NBA teams early Friday morning. The memo lays out some ground rules for coaches challenges, such as:
 - Coaches are allowed one challenge per game, and lose it regardless if the challenge is successful or not. 
- Coaches can only challenge called fouls, basket interference, out of bounds calls, and goaltending. 
- Coaches must have a timeout available to use a challenge, and must call the timeout before signaling for the challenge. Timeout must be called immediately after the event in question.
- If the challenge is successful, the team gets the timeout back. If it is unsuccessful, they lose the timeout.

 

The use of the review program in the NBA has yet to officially be approved. It will need two-thirds of the league to approve it in a formal vote before the board of governors on July 9th. According to the memo, "based on the feedback we have received, we expect it to be adopted." 

The memo also states the league will be bringing the G League's "transition take foul" to Summer League. The rule penalizes intentional fouls that interrupt a fast break, but aren't considered clear path fouls. Under this rule, the fouled team would be awarded one free throw and retain possession of the ball. This rule will be adopted for Summer League only and there doesn't appear to be any plans to bring it to the NBA level at this time.
