ACB has announced some changes to the reviews of plays for the upcoming season.

The Spanish League has revamped the Instant Replay System (IRS) regulations to ensure the best possible decisions for every game in the competition.

Here's a summary of key changes:

Coaches will no longer have the power to request an IRS Challenge for clock and possession situations. This responsibility will now rest solely with the referees. In all reviewable situations, once the referees have consulted the IRS, they will also assess and penalize any flagrant simulation acts with a direct technical foul. This change reflects their commitment to not only addressing fouls but also any external behavior that may occur during the action.

These decisions resulted from a four-day collaboration between the Referee Department and the 36 ACB League referees for the 2023-24 campaign, working together to find common ground.
