Section 5. Officials Use of Replay/Television Equipment
Art. 1. Officials may use courtside replay equipment, videotape or television
monitoring only in situations involving:
a. A determination if a fight occurred and the individuals who participated
or left the bench area;
b. A determination as to who shall attempt a free throw(s) when
there is uncertainty.
c. An assessment whether correctable errors 2-10.1.c, .d, or .e need
to be rectified;
d Preventing or rectifying a scoring or timing mistake by the scorer
or timer involving the game clock or shot clock;
e. A determination if the game clock or shot clock expired at or near
the end of a period (see Rule 2-5.2); or
f. Correcting a timing mistake in the half or extra period in which it
occurred due to a malfunctioning game clock or shot clock.

Art. 2. At the end of either half or at the end of any extra period, the officials
after making a call on the playing court shall use replay equipment,
videotape or television monitoring that is located on a designated courtside
table (i.e., within approximately 3 to 12 feet of the playing court),
when such equipment is available, to:
a. Determine whether a try for field goal at or near the expiration of
time in the first half was released before the reading of 0.00 on
the game clock (refer to 5-7.2.b);
b. Ascertain whether a try for field goal that will determine the outcome
of a game (win, lose, tie), and was attempted at or near the
expiration of the game clock, was released before the reading of
0.00 on the game clock (refer to 5-7.2.b);
c. Determine, with the reading of 0.00 on the game clock, whether
a shot-clock violation occurred at or near the expiration of time in
the first half;
d. Ascertain, with the reading of 0.00 on the game clock, whether a
shot-clock violation occurred at or near the expiration of time when
it may determine the outcome of the game (win, lose or tie).
Art. 3. A courtside television monitor may be used when, in the judgment
of an official, a timer’s mistake has occurred. Such a mistake may be corrected
only during the first dead ball after the game clock should have been
started or stopped or once the ball is in play before the second live ball
when the game clock should have been running and while the ball is dead.
Art. 4. No timing mistake correction shall be carried over from one half or
extra period to another. Such a mistake shall be corrected before the start
of intermission.
Art. 5. When, in the judgment of an official, the shot-clock operator fails
to properly start, stop, set or reset the shot clock, the officials shall be permitted
to use the courtside television monitor to correct the mistake in the
shot-clock period in which it occurred.
Art. 6. Officials shall be permitted to consult a courtside monitor
when there is uncertainty as to who shall be awarded a free throw(s).
Art. 7. Officials shall be permitted to consult a courtside monitor to determine
if a try for goal is a two- or three-point attempt, regardless of
whether the try is successful.
Art. 8. Officials shall not use a courtside monitor or courtside videotape
for judgment calls such as who fouled, basket interference, goaltending
or release of the ball before the activation of the red light or
LED lights, (or when the red light is not present, the sounding of the
game-clock horn); or the sounding of the shot-clock horn, with the
exception of the situations described in Rules 2-5.1.e, 2-5.2 and 2-5.3.
However, in accordance with Rule 2-5.1.c and 2-10.1.e,
