NBA will allow judges to watch videos

The rules of the National Basketball Association, which have already been actively adjusted in the last two seasons, can be supplemented again. Moreover, some are very radical. In the upcoming negotiations with three television companies receiving the right to broadcast the NBA matches, the leadership of the association intends to reach an agreement on a change in the format of the first stage of the Play-Off. It is that the winner is determined by the results of the series not out of five, but out of seven games.

True, according to ITAR-TASS, the draft agreement contains the condition that the Association of NBA players must approve the innovation. So far, the two high -ranking representatives of this, in fact, the organizations, organized a disagreement with a similar idea. In particular, as President Ainba Michael Carrie stated, "most of the basketball players respondents on this issue negatively reacted to a change in the format." Although, according to his admission, such a position may change if the players will pay a certain monetary compensation, about which there is not a word in the draft agreement with television companies.

The second adjustment can contribute to clarity in controversial moments during matches. According to reporters, the Commissioner of the NBA David Stern, the leadership of the association plans to study the possibility of introducing "instant viewing by judges of a video of" a defiant contradiction of the episode of the game. The reason for this announcement was the decision not to count the abandoned ball in the game "Charlotte Hornets" and "Orlando Magic" - the dispute arose due to the fact that the throw was perfect, one version, a split second before the end of the game, and according to the other, after the expiration of the control time.
