NBA Competition Committee new rules being discussed

[mozichrome]

so the league competition committee discussed some new rules this week

a potential “challenge flag” system for coaches to use only in the last two minutes of regulation and overtime. The committee did not come to a consensus on that issue, though they did agree that if the league does adopt such a system, they should at first use it in postseason games only. Coaches would get only one challenge per game.

The committee did recommend a new rule banning players from standing out of bounds on offense. The committee did recommend a new rule banning players from standing out of bounds on offense, Jackson says. The league says eight teams made regular use of this tactic to drag defenders away from the action, and the Nuggets, to my eye, were probably the foremost practitioner of this trickery. George Karl, their former coach, quipped to me that, “Hey, sometimes the other team guards you out of bounds.” We could dub this the Professor Andre Miller Rule, or the JaVale McGee Violation.

the committee recommended the league allow officials to review all aspects of a block/charge call in the last two minutes of regulation and overtime. The league has tried to minimize the extent to which officials can look back on “judgment calls”; most reviews limit them to fairly black-and-white things, such as the location of a defender’s feet or whether a shot should count as a 3-pointer or 2-pointer. The league has been wary of subjecting judgment calls to replay review, because doing so could in theory subject every single call to the replay treatment.

the committee was unanimous that the current system of fines “has worked this year.”

Reviewing blocks/charges in the final 2 minutes & OT? Games are gonna take forever to finish if that's passed.

Only shyt they should be talking about is how to ban flopping and letting the players play, who cares if an offensive players goes out of bounds, defender know he's not getting the ball anyway
