S 3295 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Requires New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association to adopt policy on use of instant replay in playoff tournament basketball games.

This bill requires New Jersey's high school athletic association (NJSIAA) to create a policy allowing instant replay reviews for game clock decisions in basketball playoff tournaments. It mandates that all playoff games be recorded with video and audio for review, and permits each head coach to challenge the clock twice per game. The policy applies only to playoff tournament games, not regular-season matches, and gives coaches a limited number of challenges to correct clock errors. The rule takes effect immediately for the first full school year after enactment.
