Since the 2012-13 season, and modified in 2013-14, when it’s been determined that illegal contact has occurred on a block/charge foul but are not reasonably certain as to whether the defender was inside or outside the restricted area during the last two minutes of the fourth period or last two minutes of any overtime period, replay can be used.
Reviewable Matters:
- Whether the defender was inside or outside the restricted area
- Whether the defender was in a legal guarding position
- Whether any unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact occurred
- Whether a flopping violation proximate to the called foul should be assessed or rescinded
Notes:
- Video review will take place ONLY in the last two minutes of the fourth period and the last two minutes of all overtime periods
- Review must take place immediately after the preceding foul call
- Determining factor as to whether officials are permitted to review is uncertainty of the position of the defender’s feet (either inside or outside the restricted area)
Final Ruling: Replay Center Referees
