This bill requires the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) to adopt a policy on the use of instant replay in playoff tournament basketball games. Under the bill, the NJSIAA is required to develop and adopt a policy that requires an official video and audio recording of each playoff tournament basketball game conducted by the association for use in the review of game clock decisions. The bill permits the head coach of each team to make two game clock challenges per game.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA), the governing body for high school sports in New Jersey, establish a policy for using instant replay in its playoff tournament basketball games. Specifically, the NJSIAA must ensure that every playoff basketball game is officially recorded with both video and audio, which can then be used to review decisions related to the game clock. To further enhance fairness, the head coach of each team will be allowed to challenge game clock decisions up to two times per game. This new policy will take effect immediately and will be implemented starting with the first full school year after the bill becomes law.
