And coaches’ challenges has finally hit the NBA. Their system sounds idiotic. If a head coach wants to have a call/play reviewed, he must immediately call a timeout, without being able to review a replay first. That is just dumb. They only get one challenge per game.
Now, you have the NHL giving a team a 2 minute minor if the call is not overturned. That’s ridiculous and too harsh. There will likely be less challenges though.
The MLB system takes too long and still doesn’t always get it right.
Replays for all of the 4 major sports can kill the momentum of a team, regardless of the decision. I think it’s wise to use technology to get the calls right, but all of these systems are flawed and it seems impossible for that to happen.
Back to the NFL, they don’t seem to think through some of these rule changes. Seemingly smart coaches like Sean Payton are on the competition committee, but they tend to make decisions that don’t improve the product from a fan’s perspective.
