NBA Expands Replay Review to Include Retroactive Fouls

The new rule allows referees to call fouls during out-of-bounds reviews starting next season.

  • The NBA Board of Governors approved the rule change unanimously for the 2024-25 season.
  • Coaches' challenges on out-of-bounds plays can now include potential missed fouls in the review.
  • The rule aims to increase accuracy but has raised concerns about disrupting game flow.
  • Critics argue that slow-motion replays may not effectively determine fouls, potentially increasing confusion.
  • The change follows a controversial missed call in last season's playoffs involving Kyrie Irving and Jaden McDaniels.
