The NBA is looking into expanding its use of instant replay to include altercations, sources have told the
Boston Herald. The matter was discussed during meetings here that coincide with the predraft camp. At issue is whether the league should use the video to decide proper penalties on the spot for players who might leave the bench area. The recent situation in which Phoenix’ Amare Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were suspended for a pivotal Game 5 against the Spurs for moving toward an altercation near center court in Game 4 has raised the call once again to bring replay into the process. “It would only kick in if there’s an altercation,” said one source. “It’s not like they’d use it to decide whether a guy had position on a charge or anything like that. If they used it that way, our games would take four hours.”
