Ex-NBA referee Joey Crawford advocates for challenge systems
INDIANAPOLIS — Joey Crawford, one of the most polarizing NBA referees during his lengthy stint in the league, said the new challenge systems across sports are good because they hold officials accountable.
This season, Major League Baseball introduced its automated ball-strike (ABS) system. Batters, pitchers and catchers can challenge calls throughout the game using an automated tracking system that was instituted this season. Each team is given two wrong calls before they exhaust their challenges. The NBA has had a coach's challenge system since 2019, the NHL since 2015 and the NFL since 1999.
"You're paid to get the plays right. You're paid to get them right," said Crawford, who still works for the NBA to support officials. "So we train referees and they're very, very good. They're going to make mistakes. They are guys who miss a jump shot. Coach calls a timeout they shouldn't have called. It's all the same thing. We've got to watch. You're at the end of the game. The key is not to blow that whistle and guess. You got to know that it happened. Don't assume that it happened."

"Refs see shirts [not players]. They see shirts," he said. "And then they said, 'Well, you made that mistake. You didn't call that walk, you didn't do this.' And I would say, 'Who had the ball?' And they said, 'Well, Michael Jordan had the ball, that's why he did it.' I said, 'Who has the ball at the end of the game? Who?' And they'll say, 'Michael Jordan.' That's every team. The best player has the ball at the end of the game, so if you're going to make a mistake, you're usually making a mistake on that best player. And that's where I think the superstar thing came from."
