 I'd like to hear some ideas about what you could challenge and what you should not be able to challenge.

 I was watching a game where the player made a great move took a dribble two huge steps and made a difficult running hook shot and was called for a travel. The player was upset, it clearly was not a walk. You should be able to review that at the coaches request.

 It would slow the game down a little, but only two per game not a big deal they already review plays now, let's give the coaches some more power it may make them less crazy as well.

as much as its nice to have replay in sports, it really puts a drag on entertainment. 

a better policy would hold officials accountable to be better at their jobs. 

look that the NCAA, where a greater number of available officials has clearly led to better performance.

I'd like to see them cut the time outs in half. Let the players make the decision as the game is on the line. Coach can coach this during practice. Keep the game moving along.

I don't care if it slows the games down---Getting the call right is the main thing--I think giving a coach a couple of "Challenges" for BAD calls would be a good idea....this whole Review a play thing they do now is really good---except, there is NO way to make up for a bad or missed call.

Exactly. I would put it at just one a game, and that would only add two more replays to each game. With the NJ replay center, that shouldn't be too unmanageable. Just think, how many games could be changed by giving each team the ability to overturn one potentially bad call? Of course, not every time it is used will a call be overturned, but there are many, many bad fouls called later in games that could potentially be game-altering. I'm all for giving each team one coach's challenge every game.
