Thanks for the link, MrTop.

On challenged foul calls, the crew chief makes the call.

On all other challenges (out-of-bounds plays, goaltending, etc.), the replay official in Secaucus makes the call.

Rule #14:

If a coach disagrees with either a foul call, an out of bounds ruling or a goaltending or basket interference call, they can use a timeout and twirl their index finger, signaling a challenge. Coaches get one challenge per game and get to keep their timeout if successful.

The rule is on a one-year trial basis and will be re-evaluated during the summer.

I never liked the one challenge limit.

If you're right, you should be able to keep challenging until you're wrong.

100% agree. The NFL started out giving a team only 2. Even if you were right both times. Then they changed it - for the better - to the current one where if you are right on both you can keep going until you get one wrong. That is what MLB does although if wrong you can ask for 1 more in the 7th or later and I don't like that rule
