Thanks for the info. My thinking is that the NBA is making a mistake in not having these calls made on the floor first and then reviewed.
They are missing out on the training and improvement of their officiating staff as well as generating more data for how many calls are made correctly and what is overturned.
Clear path, FF, and correct FT shooter situations are all calls which are simple to have made and then reviewed. Altercations involving multiple players or people coming off the bench are impossible to correctly assess on the floor without video.
Btw I think that 80% seems low for professional referees on what is tracked.
