Following the 3rd full timeout in the 4th period and any overtime period, the review must take place at the next clock stoppage, including immediately upon a successful basket when the clock stops in the last two minutes. If a successful 2-point/3-point field goal is not reviewed in accordance with the foregoing tim- ing rules, the play can no longer be reviewed once the ball is inbound and touched on the court, a personal foul is assessed or violation is whistled.

(6) Whether an 8-second backcourt violation occurred before the ball left the shooter’s hand or the player was fouled. NOTE: In all the above, the officials would be permitted to utilize instant replay to determine whether (and how much) time should be put on the game clock but only when it is determined through replay that (i) the player committed a boundary line violation, (ii) a 24-second violation occurred, (iii) an 8-second backcourt violation occurred, (iv) a called foul occurred prior to the expiration of time on the game clock or (v) a clock malfunctioned occurred and time remains in the period. i. If an instant replay review is triggered as described in Section I - a (9) above, the officials would review the video to determine the following issues: (1) Whether, when the foul was called, the ball and an offensive player were positioned between the tip-of-circle extended in the backcourt and the basket in the frontcourt, with no defender between the ball and the basket or no defender ahead of the player being fouled with the opportunity to position himself between the ball and the basket. (2) The offensive team had possession of the ball and the new play originated in the backcourt, including throw-ins. (3) The foul deprived the offensive team of an opportunity to score. (4) The foul was committed prior to the offensive player starting his shooting motion. j. If an instant replay review is triggered in Section I - a (10) above, the officials would review the video to determine which player was fouled. The review must take place prior to the first free throw being released. The officials would not review video to determine which player committed the foul in question. The officials may review the video to determine only the following other matters: (1) Whether the shooter fouled was attempting a 2-point or 3-point field goal. (2) Whether the player fouled committed a boundary line violation prior to the foul. For purposes of this review, the official would look only at the position of the player’s feet at the moment they last touched the floor immediately prior to (or, if applicable, during) the foul. (3) Whether the 24-second clock expired before the foul occurred. (4) Whether an 8-second backcourt violation occurred before the player was fouled. k. If an instant replay review is triggered in Section I-a (11) above, the officials would review the video to determine whether the ball touched the rim, and make any adjustments to the game clock, shot clock, score and possession that are appropriate in accordance with the following: (1) If play has stopped following the offensive team retaining possession (e.g., the offensive team has made a successful field goal, or a violation or foul has been called), the play must be reviewed immediately upon such stoppage of play and: (i) For a successful field goal, the officials will time the play to determine whether the field goal was released prior to the expiration of 24 seconds. If the officials determine that the ball was released before 24 seconds expired, the points will count and the opposing team will inbound on the baseline as after any successful field goal. If the officials determine that the ball was released after the shot clock should have expired, the points will not count and the opposing team will be awarded the ball at the free throw line extended. (ii) For a called foul, the officials will time the play to determine whether the foul occurred prior to the expiration of 24 seconds or, in the case of a called foul that is committed on a player in the act of shooting, whether the shooter released the ball prior to the expiration of 24 seconds. If the officials deter- mine that the foul occurred or the ball was released prior to the expiration of 24 seconds, the called foul will be upheld. If the officials determine that the foul occurred or the ball was released after the expiration of 24 seconds, the called foul will be overturned and a 24-second violation assessed. (EXCEPTION: Flagrant fouls and unsportsmanlike acts and points scored therefrom will not be nullified.) (iii) If the ball is caused to become out-of-bounds by the defensive team or a defensive violation is assessed, the officials will time the play to determine how much time should be on the shot clock or if a 24-second violation should be assessed. (2) If play is continuous (i.e., if there is no stoppage in play following the offensive team retaining possession of the ball), the officials will stop play during the first pause in action prior to any subsequent change of possession. If the officials determine following review that the shot clock is correct (i.e., no adjustment is required), then play will resume from the point of interruption. If the officials determine that the shot clock is incorrect, then the shot clock will be reset to the time the ball was possessed by the offensive team following the ball touching (or not touching) the rim, and the game clock will also be reset to reflect the change. The ball will be inbounded on the sideline nearest the spot where the ball was possessed. (3) If play is stopped while neither team is in possession of the ball and the officials determine following review that a 24-second violation has not occurred, then play will resume with a jump ball at center court between any two players in the game. The shot clock and game clock will be adjusted accordingly. If an instant replay review for a shot clock adjustment is not reviewed in accordance with the timing rules set forth above, it may not be reviewed at any point thereafter. (l) If an instant replay review is triggered as described in Section I - a (12) above, the officials would review the video to determine the location of the defensive player with regards to the restricted area. The review must take place prior to the subsequent inbounding of the ball or any free throw attempt. (m) If an instant replay review is triggered as described in Section I - a (13) above, the officials would review the video in accordance with Rule 11 Section I. The officials may also review the video to determine only the following other matters: (1) If goaltending or basket interference was ruled prior to the ball touching the rim, whether the shooter committed a boundary line violation. For purposes of this review, the official would look only at the position of the shooter’s feet at the moment they last touched the floor immediately prior to (or, if applicable, during) the release of the shot and the flight of the ball. (2) If goaltending or basket interference was ruled prior to the ball touching the rim, whether an 8-second backcourt violation occurred before the ball left the shooter’s hand. Section III—Replay Review Process a. Replay reviews are to be conducted by the officials as a crew after gathering as much information as possible. In cases of conflict, the crew chief will make the final decision. b. Replay reviews should be conducted within two minutes. Notwithstanding this general rule, referees have the discretion to extend the review period as reasonably necessary under unusual circumstances, such as when the play could lead to an ejection (e.g., flagrant fouls/penalty 2), technical issues arise with the replay system, the outcome of the replay review requires multiple replay review angles and/or there is a delay in providing the referees with the necessary replay review angles to conduct their review. In addition, replay reviews of Player Altercations should be concluded within whatever time is reasonably necessary, even if that time period extends beyond two minutes. c. If the replay system is not working, the crew chief will use the nearest courtside TV production available. d. Following replay review, the crew will make a ruling. The call made by the game officials during play will be reversed only when the replay provides the officials with "clear and conclusive" visual evidence to do so. For clock malfunctions, the officials will not make a ruling prior to using replay. e. The officials will use the following to make their ruling in the order listed below regarding scoring, timing or fouls at the end of any period. (1) Game clock or shot clock on top of backboard. (2) LED lights. (3) Game clock on the facades of the balcony. (4) Game clock on score boards hanging from the ceiling. (5) Superimposed TV clocks. EXCEPTION: Clock malfunctions when clocks start early, late or freeze - Officials will use replay clock superimposed from TV production or stop watch. f. The officials will keep both teams on the court at the end of the second period if replay is being used to determine if a foul was called prior to expiration of the period or if there is any question whether the shooter committed a 24-second violation, 8-second violation or boundary line violation where time may be added to the game clock. g. The officials will keep both teams on the court anytime replay is used at the end of the fourth period or overtime period.
