In a sensible decision that benefits Syracuse basketball and others, officials may use instant replay when a shot-clock violation is inaccurately called.
In a move that Syracuse basketball and other squads should welcome, the NCAA has announced that its playing rules oversight panel has approved allowing officials to utilize instant replay reviews in situations where they call a possession dead due to a shot-clock violation.
According to an NCAA press release, if an official sees on a video review that a shot-clock violation was called in error and the field-goal attempt was made, the call will get reversed and the shot will count.
