Australian basketball league coaches will have the ability to contest referees' decisions under a new challenge system introduced for the 2021-22 season

Australian basketball league coaches will have the ability to contest referees' decisions under a new challenge system introduced for the 2021-22 season

29 November 2021

Each team can request a "coach's challenge" at any stage of a game and will retain their ability to challenge a decision until they are unsuccessful.

A coach must use an available timeout to challenge a decision and can only challenge a personal foul called on their team or an out-of-bounds decision.

All decisions on a coach's challenge will be made by an official in the NBL Replay Centre.

The Breakers are due to begin their season this Saturday, but are pushing for a delay due to Covid cases in camp.
