Coach’s Challenges Coming To The NBA

Not too long ago, the MLB finally incorporated a replay system alongside the opportunity to for managers to challenge calls from the dugout. Taking a page out of the MLB’s book, and the NFL’s prior to them, the NBA now plans to add a coach’s challenge option for next year’s season.

The proposition passed unopposed, achieving a 30–0 vote at the league’s annual meeting during the NBA Summer League. The coach’s challenge already exists as a feature for G–league teams, already proving successful over the last two years since its implementation. This season serves as a “test year” for the new concept,  with the league planning to eventually vote once more and decide whether or not the game should move forward with the challenge feature.


As the NBA continues to grow with popularity, this new rule and its impact appears as a worthy topic to follow closely once next year’s season commences. With this, the NBA continues to prioritize the game itself and its rules ahead the league’s entertainment value.
