The NBA Board of Governors have approved an expanded use of the Coach’s Challenge when reviewing out-of-bounds violations, which will begin with the 24-25 NBA season.
Under the new rule, if instant replay of an out-of-bounds violation is triggered by a Coach’s Challenge, the on-court officials and Replay Center will be able to review the video to determine whether a foul proximate to the violation should have been called. The factors that will be considered in determining whether a prior uncalled foul is proximate to the out-of-bounds violation are below:
- Whether the players involved in the uncalled foul are the same or different players than the ones involved in the out-of-bounds violation under review.
- The distance between the uncalled foul and the out-of-bounds violation under review.
- The time elapsed between the uncalled foul and the out-of-bounds violation under review.
