The NBA's Competition Committee has recommended expanded use of instant replay for a block/charge call. NBA Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Stu Jackson recently announced that the Competition Committee will recommend the expanded use of instant replay to allow officials to review block/charge calls in the final two minutes of games and in overtime, according to an Associated Press report.
The committee is also recommending a new rule to prevent players from standing out of bounds on halfcourt sets to pull defenders even farther away from the rim and create additional spacing on offense. The proposed rule would punish players standing out of bounds as a stationary decoy, but would not punish players who incidentally run out of bounds for a brief moment in the flow of an offensive set.
Several other new rules were also under consideration, but no recommendations were made and the ideas are still under discussion. For example, the committee discussed an idea by Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle that would give each coach one challenge in the last two minutes of playoff games to force a review of a call on the floor by a group of off-site officials.
