How Good Will LA Clippers’ Coach Doc Rivers Be At Challenges?
With the NBA approving the use of coaching challenges this year, we take a guess on how effective LA Clippers’ coach Doc Rivers will be.
Today, the NBA Board of Governors approved the use of Coach’s Challenges for the upcoming 2019-20 season. The challenges have already been experimented with in both the G-League and Summer League, so the implementation should be simple.
In case you missed the report, here are the plays coaches can challenge:
Fouls on a team’s own players
Out-of-bounds
Goaltending
Basket interference
Coaches only get one challenge per game and have to twirl their finger to initiate the review. Like the NFL, the team must have a timeout remaining to use a challenge.
