NEW YORK, May 3, 2023 – As previously recommended by the WNBA’s Competition
Committee and approved by the league’s Board of Governors for the 2023 season
, the WNBA will for the first time implement a Coach’s Challenge.
The league also will put into effect modified rules for out-of-bounds call
reviews, transition take fouls, resumption of play procedures, and bench
conduct.
“The Coach’s Challenge will provide head coaches an opportunity to challenge
an event that they believe was incorrectly called and introduces a strategic
element to the WNBA game,” said WNBA Head of League Operations Bethany
Donaphin. “We will look at the rule on a trial basis and monitor the data
around its use throughout the season.”
Coach’s Challenge
Key features of the Coach’s Challenge:
The Coach’s Challenge rule will allow a team one challenge per game (
including overtime), regardless of whether the challenge is successful.
A team can use its challenge to trigger an instant replay review of three
specific events: a called foul on their own team, a called out-of-bounds
violation, or a called goaltending or basket interference violation. Replay
for a called goaltending or basket interference violation will only be
triggered by the on-court officials during the last two minutes of the fourth
period or last two minutes of any overtime period replay. A Coach’s Challenge
is now the only mechanism to trigger a replay review of an out-of-bounds
violation at any point in the game. (Under the previous rule, referees could
trigger reviews for out-of-bounds reviews in last two minutes of the fourth
quarter and last two minutes of any overtime period).
To initiate a challenge, a team must immediately call a legal full timeout and
the head coach will provide the visual signal for a challenge by twirling an
index finger toward the referees and verbally indicate the call being
challenged.
If a team attempts to challenge an event with no remaining timeouts, the team
is charged an excessive timeout, for which the penalty is a technical foul,
and no challenge will take place.
If a team calls a timeout to challenge an event that may not be reviewed, the
team will be charged a timeout but will retain its challenge.
As with other replay reviews, in order to overturn the event as called on the
floor, there must be clear and conclusive visual evidence that the call was
incorrect.
Each challengeable event will have a unique set of reviewable matters for
consideration. One example is that during a review for a called foul, the
officials can rule on the matter of continuation.
Transition Take Foul
Beginning in 2023 a heightened penalty will be imposed when a defensive player
commits a “transition take foul.”
“The modified rules regarding transition take fouls will lead to improved
game flow and increased fast break scoring opportunities while still allowing
strategic ‘take fouls’ in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter and
last two minutes of all overtime periods,” said Donaphin.
Key elements regarding the “transition take foul”:
The offensive team will be awarded one free throw, which may be attempted by
any player on the floor at the time the foul is committed.
The offensive team will retain possession of the ball and the defensive player
who commits the foul will be assessed a common personal foul.
The primary factor to determine if a foul constitutes a “take foul” is
whether the defender made a legitimate play on the ball. Other relevant
factors include whether (i) the defender gives up on the play (i.e. a defender
wraps up or grabs an opponent in a non-basketball manner), or (ii) the
defender is out of position and unable to make a legal play on the ball or
offensive player.
Resumption of Play Procedures
The resumption of play rules have been modified such that, if applicable in
connection with a Coach’s Challenge, or any call treated as an inadvertent
whistle (e.g. a shot clock violation overturned via replay review initiated by
the on-court officials during the last two minutes of the game), possession
will be awarded to the team that clearly and conclusively would have gained
possession at the time of the whistle. If this standard is not met, play will
be resumed via a jump ball.
Two factors are relevant to determine whether a team clearly and conclusively
would have imminently gained possession of the ball at the time of the whistle
:
The proximity of opposing player(s) to the ball (or lack thereof); and
The actual outcome of the play in the natural and immediate aftermath of the
whistle (e.g. a player secured the ball).
Bench Conduct
New rules are in place for the 2023 WNBA Season to reduce disruptions and
distractions during live play. Specifically, players not in the game may not
remain standing at or away from their team’s bench during the game for a
prolonged period and, along with coaches, are prohibited from attempting to
distract their opponents in an unsportsmanlike manner.
Violations are subject to penalties (e.g., technical foul, delay of game).
