Rule Changes for Next Season

[MVP]

Reviews are necessary to make sure the right calls were made. I am all for that. Who cares how long it will take as long as justice would prevail.
One rule Stern already talked about looking into and I hope it will be changed some day is offensive and defensive basket interference. They should adopt international rule that after ball touched the rim you can either swat it away or rebound or dunk/tip it in. To many mistakes made by refs on that stupid "above the cylinder" rule as it is now.... How on earth any ref being on the floor can see if the ball was above the cylinder or not? This needs to be gone one day.

I completely agree. The worst part about the rule now (aside from the refs having a hard time getting it right) is guys going up for the rebound only to miss out on it because the ball is in or close to being in the cylinder.

On real GM I made a similar thread. Almost exactly. Funny

1. All flagrant fouls will be reviewed to determine what level of flagrant was committed or to determine if it was even a flagrant. Previously only fouls that were called flagrant 2 initially were reviewable.

2. In the last two minutes of regulation or any overtime period, replay can be used to see if a defender was in the restricted area on block/charge situations and to determine if a goal-tending call that was made is correct.

Thoughts?

I like giving the refs the ability to review flagrant foul calls. I'm kind of lukewarm on the block/charge and goal-tending reviews since the end of the game will now take even longer. But if the refs can get it right I guess that is a good thing.

dammit its gonna take a long time.
why not have 2 extra refs on the sidelines who are reviewing the replay. while the 3 refs are on court.
then the tow refs signal the other 3 on what they saw.
if the two refs cant agree on the call then the 3 others come and a majority vote decides.
by having 2 refs watching the monitors n the side it will significantly speed up time

I agree that having two refs outside will speed up the time, but, how many times a a game the refs would have to stop everything and look at the video? What is the Flagrant foul per game average?

What I mean is I don't really think that this rule change will make that much of a difference anyway...
