US EditionCoach’s challenge, fewer replay reviews coming to college basketball
- The NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Rules Committees recommended that video reviews for out-of-bounds and other specific plays require a coach's challenge starting in the 2025-26 season.
- This change followed concerns about excessive game disruptions and slowed flow, especially near game ends, as data showed many reviews involved out-of-bounds plays.
- Under the proposal, teams must use a timeout to challenge in men's basketball, gaining an additional challenge if successful, while in women's basketball no timeout is needed and failed challenges bring technical fouls.
- Karl Hicks, chair of the men's committee, stated that implementing coach's challenges was considered the best method to achieve the objective of improving game flow, aligning with the NBA's one-plus-one challenge approach.
- If the proposals receive the green light from the NCAA's Playing Rules Oversight Panel during their June 10 meeting, the adjustments may speed up the game by reducing official-initiated reviews while still allowing correction of critical calls.
