Published on December 4, 2009 under Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) News Release
NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2009 - The WNBA has expanded the use of instant replay in two instances beginning with the 2010 season, the league announced today. The rule changes, which were recommended by the WNBA Competition Committee and approved by the league's Board of Governors, will allow referees to use instant replay in the following situations:
- To determine at any point during the game whether a 24-second shot clock violation occurred prior to the release of a successful field goal attempt or prior to a foul being committed.
- To determine during the last minute of regulation play and the last minute of any overtime period which player last touched the ball prior to it going out-of-bounds or whether the ball was last touched simultaneously by two opponents.
