Can a coach challenge an incomplete pass on the field?

Answer 1

A coach can challenge a play at anytime in the game before either two minute warmings. After the two minute warning the review comes from up top. A coach will challenge a play when the call on the field was questionable and could be over turned. If he wins the challenge the call is overturned, although if he loses it the team will be charged with a timeout. You can Challenge most controversial calls on the field, I.E fumbles, catches, interceptions, even some kinds of fieldgoals. The challenge has been proven to be effective and for the most part fair and accurtate.

Answer 2

In simple terms...NO. However, "good coaches" will call a time out or take an extra long time to call a play after a controversial play has occurred. The reason for this, is that it may give the officials an opportunity to have the play reviewed. Once the ball is snapped the officials cannot review the play.

Answer 3

An NFL Coach starts the game with two challenges. Each failed challenge costs his team a timeout. A third can be earned if he uses both of his first two timeouts and both are successful. A successful challenge does not cost the team a timeout. Also, an NFL Coach, if he has challenges remaining, can challenge a play any time between the end of the play that he would challenge, and the ball being snapped the next play. That is why, when a team knows that a controversial play has just occurred, the offense may either try to speed up or slow down the snapping of the ball for the next play, to ensure that a coach does or does not have a chance to challenge it.

Answer 4

In the NFL, a coach gets to challenges a game. If the coach does not agree with the call on the field by the ref, then the coach throws the red flag that is in his pocket onto the field where the referee can see it. If the call on the field is reversed, then that team that challenged the call does not lose a timeout, but if the call on the field stands then that team loses a timeout.

Answer 5

yes but if he loses the challange it will cost a timeout

No. A penalty is the result of a judgment call by the referee and is NEVER allowed to be challenged, neither in college nor in the NFL.

Answer 6

Why would they challenge a call if no call was made? Once the referee makes a call, the coach can then throw the challenge flag (if it is challengeable...not all calls are).

Answer 7

At the end of a game.
