NBA Approves Coaches Challenge Flags for 2019-20 Season

[SpunkieLakerCat]

The NBA announced, per Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press, that it's officially taking a page out of the NFL rulebook by allowing coaches to use challenge flags during games.

Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic first reported the league's board of governors approved the measure Tuesday and will implement "in-game challenge flags for head coaches" in the 2019-20 season.

Per Reynolds (via NBA.com), each coach will get one challenge per game and can contest "a personal foul charged to their team, a called out-of-bounds violation, a goaltending violation or a basket-interference violation."

"As with other replay reviews, in order to overturn the event as called on the floor, there must be clear and conclusive visual evidence that the call was incorrect," NBA Basketball Operations President Byron Spruell told teams in a memo, per Reynolds.
