The short version: An instant-replay review precedes the administration of substitutions. A substitution already made when the need for review is identified is cancelled until the decision is communicated; afterward, either player may request a substitution.
Key takeaways
- During an instant-replay review, wait for the final decision before requesting a substitution; a substitution made before the review is addressed may be cancelled.
- Under the admitted FIBA rule, a required review takes place before substitutions are administered, an interval starts, or play resumes.
- If a substitution is cancelled because officials identify the need for a review, a player may request a substitution after the final decision is communicated.
