Taking a page from the nfl :lol:

Now coaches have a real opportunity to step into the game and either save or choke away games for their teams.

What the coaches can challenge

-personal fouls charged against his team
-out of bounds
-goaltendings
-offensive interferences
-whether a shot goes in after or before shot clock buzzer
-if a player had their foot over the 3 point line on a made field goal

Flopping and complaining to the refs can't be challenged?

[bobopenguin]

great, now any team against rockets will have a match over 4 hours long.

[ScalsFan21]

This should've been done a lot sooner.

[Smoke117]

Because we need more reasons to slow the game down. Fourth quarters are going to last longer than the first three quarters now.

[Spurs m8]

This is such a circus league hahahah

[warriorfan]

Can we let Draymond be in charge of the flags?

I'm sure there is AI powerful enough to accurately decide on at least out of bounds and goal tend, within split seconds. This will free up officials' time. The current game pause for humans to spend 20 minutes to review is just ridiculous in 2019.

maybe the purpose of the NBA is to EXTEND the game time to get more ad revenue.

This. How many times can they challenge?

And when can a ref stop the play? Does it interrupt a fastbreak like a technical foul does sometimes?
