This bill mandates that the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA) establish a policy regarding the use of instant replay in playoff tournament basketball games. Specifically, the NJSIAA is required to ensure that an official video and audio recording is made of each playoff game, which will be utilized for reviewing decisions related to the game clock. Additionally, the bill allows the head coach of each team to challenge game clock decisions up to two times during a game.
The legislation is set to take effect immediately and will be applicable starting from the first full school year following its enactment. This initiative aims to enhance the accuracy and fairness of game clock management in high-stakes basketball tournaments.
