LeBron James Criticizes NBA's Challenge Rule as Nonsensical

LeBron James criticized the NBA's challenge rule after Mavericks coach Jason Kidd used both of his successful challenges before the fourth quarter in a playoff game, leaving the team without a challenge in crunch time. James argued that it makes no sense to be unable to challenge further despite previous successes. The rule, which allows a second challenge if the first is successful, has been in place since 2019 but remains controversial.

"NBA Implements New Rules on Flopping and Coach's Challenges for 2023-24 Season"

The NBA's Board of Governors has approved two rule changes for the upcoming 2023-24 season. The first change introduces a second coach's challenge if the first one is successful, giving teams more flexibility. The second change addresses flopping, with offending players' teams receiving a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul and the opposition shooting a free throw. The new flopping technical foul will not be reviewable via a coach's challenge, and fines for flopping will remain in place. Referees will have the discretion to call a flop during the next dead ball situation.

"NBA Summer League Becomes Testing Ground for Flopping Penalty"

The NBA will test two proposed rule changes, an in-game flopping penalty and a second coach's challenge, during all summer league games. The flopping penalty would result in a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul, one free throw, and possession for the opposing team. The coach's challenge proposal would allow a team to retain its challenge if the first attempt is successful. The NBA's board of governors will vote on these rule changes on July 11.
