Coach’s challenge, fewer replay reviews coming to college basketball
- The NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Rules Committees met this week in Indianapolis to propose new coach's challenge rules for video reviews in the 2025-26 season.
- The committees focused on improving game flow after data showed many video reviews targeted out-of-bounds plays, causing lengthy disruptions especially near game ends.
- The men's committee recommended that only coaches, not officials, initiate video reviews of out-of-bounds calls, while officials may still review timing, scoring, and fouls.
- Under the proposed system, teams must have a timeout to initiate a challenge; a successful challenge earns the team one additional opportunity to challenge during the game, while an unsuccessful attempt results in losing all further challenge privileges for the remainder of the contest.
- If the NCAA panel responsible for playing rules endorses the proposals during their June 10 meeting, the changes are designed to minimize game stoppages while ensuring critical calls remain accurate in college basketball.
