Coaches in ABA League will have two challenges and a chance to keep them

By Eurohoops team / info@eurohoops.net

The ABA League has introduced an innovative approach to coach challenges, setting itself apart from most European basketball leagues.

Each team will be entitled to two coach challenges per game in the 2023/24 season, and head coaches will keep their challenges if they are successful.

In a departure from the norm, the ABA League has adopted a procedure akin to that seen in tennis, but should the challenge prove unsuccessful, it will be forfeited.

Furthermore, each coach will now have two challenges at their disposal during a game, but they’ll be limited to deploying one of them within the final two minutes of the game, which includes any overtime periods.
