Per Bontemps, the new rules will allow for officials to review whether a foul should have been called on an out-of-bounds play. That means that even if a replay shows the ball going off a certain team's player and out of bounds, the other team won't gain possession if it is determined they committed a foul on the play.

Bontemps added that the rule changed was approved by the NBA Board of Governors on Tuesday, and commissioner Adam Silver will further explain the changes later in the day following the meetings.

Nice rule change, spectating those reviews always felt so weird.

Definitely. As a non-US sports fan, where we’ve had television reviews in some sports (cricket) since the 1990s on certain types of plays, this is very welcome to see. The referees should be allowed to let common sense prevail.

In American Football they use this a lot.
