Tonight's a perfect example of what's wrong with instant replay in all sports, each team should have a limited number of replays/challenges. The only time there should be a replay not initiated by the coach would be a shot at the end of a half or game or the case of a flagrant foul. The coach should be able to challenge any play/call but after they have used their allotted challenges they wouldn't be able to challenge anymore plays.

This would work with baseball, football, basketball or pretty much any sport. Not only does it slow down play with all the replays but it changes momentum in games as well as taking the excitement out of the games. There are to many things that are or are not allowed to be reviewed when every play should be able to be reviewed, by limiting the number of challenges it would speed up games and coaches would more than likely use them only on obvious plays

There's nothing I dislike more than having constant stoppages during the game reviews or watching a baseball game where a guy slides into a base, he is obviously safe and for a brief second there is air showing and they call them out. In a basketball game where they can review only parts of the a play. In football where they can change a catch after the its been called good.

I know Kentucky lost tonight on a bad call tonight, the way they played the second half they didn't deserve to win, but we have these discussions all the time for every sport, if the officials are going to be out there let them do their jobs or pay a bunch of guys to watch every play of a monitor and manage the calls from the booth

I like that idea. On ESPN they were suggesting that reviews be only allowed in the last two minutes. That would stop the momentum-killing reviews during the rest of the game, and limit reviews to crunch time. But I like your idea better. [Smile]
