Two-Point/Three-Point Field Goal

Since the 2008-09 season, referees have reviewed all situations in which officials are not reasonably certain whether a successful field goal was scored correctly as a 2-point or 3-point field goal or, in the case of a called shooting foul, whether the player was attempting a 2-point or 3-point field goal.

Reviewable Matters:

  1. Made field goal was scored correctly as a 2-point field goal or 3-point field goal
  2. A player fouled was attempting a 2-point field goal or 3-point field goal
  3. Shooter or player fouled committed a boundary line violation or the ball touched out of bounds prior to entering the basket
  4. 24-second violation occurred prior to the ball being released or foul occurring
  5. Whether any unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact occurred
  6. During the last two minutes of the fourth period or last two minutes of any overtime period, in the case of a foul, whether a flopping violation proximate to the called foul should be assessed or rescinded

Notes:

  1. On a successful field goal, replay review will be conducted according to the following:
    • Prior to the last two minutes of the fourth period or the last two minutes of any overtime period: the review occurs during the next possible clock stoppage or neutral opportunity but no later than the conclusion of the next timeout or period break following the basket in question
    • During the last two minutes of the fourth period or the last two minutes of any overtime period: the review occurs at the next clock stoppage, including immediately upon a successful basket when the clock stops in the last two minutes, but no later than the ball being put back in play following the basket in question
    • If the successful field goal is not reviewed in accordance with the foregoing timing rules, it may not be reviewed thereafter
  2. On a foul call, replay review will be conducted immediately to determine the correct number of free throws to be attempted
