The NBA Board of Governors has approved an expansion of the Coach's Challenge for the 2024-25 NBA season. Under the new rules, instant replay on out-of-bounds plays can now include whether a foul should have been called. This change allows referees to assess fouls that were missed during the initial play if challenged by a coach. The decision was highlighted by an example involving Kyrie Irving and Jaden McDaniels, where a previously uncalled foul would now be reviewable and potentially assessed. The NBA referred to a play where Dallas got the ball after Kyrie Irving fouled Jaden McDaniels. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is expected to speak at the conclusion of the Board of Governors meeting later this afternoon.
