I don't think there's a single human being on the planet who disagrees.

At least the coach's challenge is gone now, so that's a start.

There needs to be more reviews. Every time any player or coach thinks there needs to be a review in the final three minutes of the fourth quarter, then we should head to the screens. Then have sponsorship run on the bottom of the telecast to make money for the league in a manner which isn't obvious but definitely makes you think about the product at the bottom of the screen in bright neon colours, not too dissimilar to what your mum used to wear to the discotheque back in the 80s! We also need more swearing from coaches in timeouts. Quit holding back and just unleash a few F bombs and even drop the C bomb if a player is worthy of it. Just let loose, ratings will skyrocket and rich kids can use those new words they learnt when playing rep ball the following week.

I like watching the players waving their index finger around at the refs regularly. The fact that the players are wrong most of the time makes it even more enjoyable.

Reviews are killing watchability rn.

Leave them for the final quarter at best, that's it.

I think there's more review time each game than Dellcomputerova has seen court time across his distinguished career.

I still believe (as I stated in an earlier thread) that in the slightly long-term we will see far fewer reviews.

IMO, the standout result, so far, is that refs DO make mistakes and have no choice but to accept that players, coaches and even fans get it right some times when they, the PROFESSIONAL refs, 3 of them, watching nothing but the game, don't. And they (the refs) used to refuse the thought that THEY made mistakes. "No. That's what we do, what we are good at!"????

The more their calls ARE the right ones, the fewer reviews, and frustrations (at "bad" calls) we will all experience.

Remember too, the players coaches and even the fans may stop their (my) whinging at every call they (I) don't like.

Ah, Bliss! Oh yes, and the music is still too loud at some venues. It drowns out the TV commentary. Hey, that could be great for some!

Honestly. I can live with human error. That's where I want to see this system used.

Using the review system sparingly and when necessary, can help me "get over it".

Hey, to strengthen that last call of mine, when the review shows that I was wrong, it's further proof to me that the system does work! Yeah, I also suffer from being human.

Shame it can't be used to challenge when a ref calls a foul from halfway which happens in the key and clearly isn’t a foul on the replays.

I’m not sure how that would fit alongside any FIBA rule that one ref cannot overturn another ref’s call, tho.

Not often, I would think, but then I don't watch every minute of every game.

It happened recently - can't remember the game - but I remember it had an impact on the game. The ref was clearly behind the play new the half and unable to see that it was a clean strip of a layup.

Anyway, that was a distraction from the main point of the thread. I think there are too many stoppages, even if it's in the interests of accuracy and fairness. Mistakes should balance out, even in noisy pressured venues such as Perth.
