The board of directors of the NBA today approved extending the use of repetitions snapshots of videos television to help referees in their work, including steps to improve the development of parties.At its annual meeting in New York, the top leadership of owners of NBA franchises selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves owner, Glen Tylor, as its new chairman.
One of the most important decisions of the meeting was that the referees can go to the video replays to see if a shot was two or three points, and to decide if tight if a player receives a lack behind the arc and has secured all three free throws on its own.
The owners also approved the use of repetition by malfunction of the clock late in the second quarter or overtime.
This measure is in response to criticism by the problems of timing that were presented during the playoff game between Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons last year.
From his side, Taylor was unanimously elected new president of the Governing Board, in replacement of the Miami Heat owner, Micky Arison, who was in office for three years.
Former senator from Minnesota and owner of the Timberwolves since 1995, Taylor has held various positions in the executive committee of owners of the 30 teams in the NBA.
The role of that body is to help the NBA to take major decisions such as changes in rules, relocation of franchises and other issues impacting the development and smooth running of the League.
