NCAA panel approves addition of coaches' challenges
June 10 - The NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approved several proposals on Tuesday that are designed to improve the flow of men's college basketball games.
Arguably the most notable change is the addition of coaches' challenges.
Coaches will now be able to challenge out-of-bounds calls, basket interference/goaltending and whether a secondary defender was in the restricted area at any point in the game.
Mirroring challenge rules in the NBA, teams can only challenge if they have a timeout to request a review. If successful, they will earn one additional replay challenge for the remainder of the game. Unsuccessful, and that team will not be able to challenge the rest of that contest.
Officials will still be able to initiate video reviews on goaltending and restricted-area plays in the final two minutes of each game. However, out-of-bounds reviews can now be initiated by only a coach's challenge.
The rules panel also signed off on a change to the flagrant foul rule surrounding plays in which a player makes contact to an opponent's groin. Whereas officials could only rule it a common foul or a flagrant foul 2 in previous seasons, officials will now be able to call a flagrant foul 1.
Elsewhere, the NCAA said that there is "positive momentum" for the men's game to shift from halves to quarters. However, the NCAA Men's Basketball Committee has recommended the creation of a joint working group to explore such a change before making any alterations.

Throughout Thursday, we have been revealing who Newcastle legend Steve Howey believes are the club's most skilful players awards third place to David Ginola, who Newcastle beat European giants Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus to sign in to BBC Radio Newcastle, Howey recalled his first training session with his former team-mate."We used to test players when they used to come into the training ground for the first time as the standard of our five-a-side was absolutely incredible, and not a lot of players could deal with it," he said. "And there were a couple of new signings that didn't recover. "The very first ball that [Ginola] got was whipped in at him and bounced horribly, but he killed it stone-dead, dropped his shoulder, went the other way and stuck it right in the top corner. "I didn't know that much about him, but wow. what a player and a great lad as well. Back then, you could absolutely whack a player, and David used to get hit, but he never went down unless he was wiped out."Such a good player and so comfortable with both feet."Listen on BBC Sounds - and return to this page later to discover the top two

Chelsea unveil their new away kit for 2025-26 season and will debut it in Club World Cup - as they bizarrely pay tribute to HUNGARY in strip
Chelsea have revealed their new away kit for the 2025-26 season. A standard shirt for an adult weighs in at £84.99. The Blues will give their new strips their first outings at the Club World Cup in the United States, where they will face LAFC, Flamengo, and ES Tunis in the group stages. Surprisingly, the story of Chelsea's away kit is rooted in 1950s Hungary. Former Chelsea manager Dave Sexton - who won the FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup in the early 1970s - loved the 'Magnificent Magyars' Hungarian team of the '50s so much that he introduced a red, white and green kit in tribute to the nation's colours. Now, Chelsea have paid tribute to that old jersey by adding green and red lines down the centre of their white away shirt. Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke, and Kadeisha Buchanan modelled the gear in the Saatchi Gallery in London. Their blue home kit went on sale a few weeks ago.
