NCAA Committees Recommend Coach’s Challenges for Basketball Video Reviews
Proposals aim to improve game flow and consistency, pending June 10 approval for 2025-26 implementation.
Overview
- The NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Rules Committees proposed requiring coach’s challenges to initiate video reviews for specific calls, including out-of-bounds plays.
- The men’s proposal mandates teams have a timeout to challenge, with successful challenges granting an additional one and failed challenges forfeiting further attempts.
- The women’s proposal does not require a timeout but penalizes failed challenges with an administrative technical foul.
- Additional rule changes include modifications to continuous motion, shot clock resets, and conduct regulations, aimed at enhancing game flow and fairness.
- The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel will review the recommendations on June 10, with potential implementation in the 2025-26 season.
