Should replay be a challenge method
I'd like to see a challenge system implemented

only follow cricket loosely, but don't they now use video to adjudicate LBW decisions?Not subjectively.


My understanding of the NBL rules is that it is only in the last two minutes.Your understanding is, as usual, wrong.
It can be used at any time in the game to check the value of a shot, what time should be remaining on the clocks if there's an issue, or to identify which player should be shooting free throws. It can also be used after fight/melee situations.
It can be used in the final two minutes to check whether a shot was released before the shot clock or game clock buzzer, whether it was released before a foul call, and to check possession on an out-of-bounds call.
ut in answer to the OP, yes I would give each coach 3 appeals, 1 in each half, and one in the last two minutes. With the condition that if the appeal is upheld, then they get a 2nd, but no more than a 2nd in each period, so an absolute maximum of 6.Systems where you lose challenges whether you're correct or not are absurd.
I would also restrict the type of call that can be appealed. OOB, blocked shots and reaching in where the player claims he got all ball, 2/3 point calls, and buzzer/SC beaters.So when you say 'restrict the type of call that can be appealed', you mean 'massively expand the types of reviewable calls, including making subjective calls reviewable unlike any other sport in existence despite the obvious impossibility of reviewing them'?

My understanding of the NBL rules is that it is only in the last two minutes.
Firstly, I think they should do it properly. Have a "4th Ref" sitting in a booth with a video tech, big screens, and multiple video feeds. The current system where they go to the sidelines and peer at a 12" monitor is a joke.
Perhaps the biggest thing you need to fix is the attitude of the refs. How many times do we see 2 refs with good vision make no call, and the unsighted ref calls a charge or a block. Logically they should consult, and if necessary majority rules. But they seldom do.
Refs need to swallow their pride and if necessary refer to the video ref.
Have the refs in radio communication, and make it fast. If the video ref can't see an answer in say 20 seconds, then the floor call stands.
But in answer to the OP, yes I would give each coach 3 appeals, 1 in each half, and one in the last two minutes. With the condition that if the appeal is upheld, then they get a 2nd, but no more than a 2nd in each period, so an absolute maximum of 6. (Plus of course provision for OT.)
I would also restrict the type of call that can be appealed. OOB, blocked shots and reaching in where the player claims he got all ball, 2/3 point calls, and buzzer/SC beaters.
I would not allow appeals on blocking/charge calls. Simply because it would take far too long for the video ref to review all angles.


Was the FIBA World Club Championships ever played? This was proposed is December 2008.
