OT: NCAA: Coach’s challenge recommended for women’s basketball

Coach’s challenge recommended for women’s basketball - NCAA.org

A coach's video review challenge was proposed by the NCAA Women's Basketball Rules Committee during its meeting this week in Indianapolis.

Under the proposal, plays that could be challenged at any point during the game include: ​

• Ruled out-of-bounds violations.
• Ruled backcourt violations.
• Whether a change in team possession occurred before the ruling of a foul where free throws would be involved.
• Whether a foul was assessed to the correct player.

Officials could not initiate reviews on these calls with the exception of whether a foul was assessed to the correct player.​

​

Teams would not be required to have a timeout to make a video review challenge in NCAA women's basketball competition. However, a failed challenge would result in an administrative technical foul for an excessive timeout.​

I'm wondering how many of the proposed reviews actually occur during a game, other than the out of bounds because some refs do seem to review quite a few during the last minutes of the game.
Also, if is there a limit on the number of challenges a team can request.

I take it that the ruled out of bounds call refers to situations when a player is called for stepping on the sideline or end line. If so, why couldn’t a challenge be made for situations where a player is not called out of bounds but it is obvious that the player was out of bounds?
