Since the 2007-08 season, and modified prior to the 2018-19 season, referees have reviewed all on-court altercations, which for replay purposes means any situation where:
- Two or more players are engaged in a fight or hostile physical interaction that is not part of normal basketball play and does not immediately resolve
- A player, coach, trainer or other bench person commits a hostile act against another player, referee, coach, trainer, bench person or spectator
Reviewable Matters:
- The identity and level of involvement of all players, coaches, trainers or team bench persons involved in the altercation and the action immediately prior to and immediately following
- The appropriate penalty to be assessed against each person involved
- Whether a flopping violation proximate to the altercation should be assessed or rescinded
