Basketball NBA referees to use technology to make calls

[Hands]

The NBA will expand use of instant replay this season, giving referees greater discretion to use it as another officiating tool.
Game officials will be able to use instant replay in two cases:

• At any time to determine whether a field goal was properly awarded two or three points and to determine the correct number of free throws on a missed two- or three-point field goal.

• If the game clock malfunctions during a play ending with no time left at the end of a quarter or overtime.

The vote, taken this month, needed the approval of at least 23 clubs. The league expects to make a formal announcement this week.

Sounds good to me - we all know the refs need an extra pair of eyes

i think they should train them to call fouls that the only see. im sick of a guy tripping over his own feet but the refs think the other guy tripped him because they didnt see it
