The NBA Board of Governors approved the expanded use on Friday.
Referees will be permitted to check replay to see if the 24-second clock expired before a successful shot or a foul.
They can also consult video during the last 2 minutes of regulation and any overtime period to determine which player last touched the ball prior to it going out of bounds.

I'd like to see something similar to the NFL, where each team is given a "challenge" maybe 2 per half, and if they are wrong, they lose a time out. 4 calls a game that went corrected would go along way in making the game more watchable, and I think make the players less whiny, (and some "it's a conspiracy" fans less whiny also) as the ref could say challenge it then. The game is just to fast and refereing too hard, I know I've done it, it's slight of hand at times when a player swipes at another player if they touched all ball, wrist, or nothing at all, It's impossible to know at times.
