The NCAA Men’s Basketball Rules Committee proposed the integration of coach challenges on Friday, giving teams one per game to review out-of-bounds calls, basket interference and goaltending as well as determining if a defender was positioned in the restricted area underneath the basket.Under the proposal, coaches would need to have a timeout in order to request a challenge. If successful, coaches will receive another challenge.That is just one of several recommendations made to the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which will review the proposals on June 10 to be implemented during the 2025-26 season.Another recommendation from the rules committee is to create a group to explore a potential change from halves to quarters, falling in line with the NBA, women’s college basketball and other global leagues.The committee noted “positive momentum” existed to make the change but cited hurdles in doing so, such as restructuring media timeouts “to accommodate commercial inventory.” Hence the suggestion to create a working group to study the topic and provide a report at this time in 2026.Karl Hicks, the rules committee chairman and American Athletic Conference associate commissioner for basketball, said that the committee focused on improving gameflow toward the ends of games, which have seen an increased number of stoppages for official reviews.
