Coaches challenge is huge. Pretty big oversight not to have this be the rule in the first place.
how much you wanna bet those 2nd challenges will be used for refs accusing players of flopping
Didn’t D Ham have one of the better successful challenge percentages amongst coaches?
A way to review crucial late-game plays would be nice as well. Maybe like the last 2 minutes of the game, the refs are allowed to review certain plays and correct their calls? Not sure how but, I just want to avoid dumb calls such as the Tatum foul on Lebron. That game hurt!
Finally some common sense.
LBJ doesn’t flop, doesn’t get the calls. Lbj sells the foul and gets the call, whole league cries foul (no pun intended).
Teams should keep their challenge until they lose it. Works in the nrl (rugby league in Australia/NZ).
Holy sh that fucking huge for coaches
We really could have used that second challenge during that streak of games where the refs kept screwing us over in the last two minutes
I’m interested to see how this affects Austin. I’m guessing they won’t actually call it much.
Embiid is on indeed.com as we speak
Will this apply to offense? Will our favorite white boy start getting called on for how he reacts to fouls he draws?
About time.
