I would love to see overall numbers since the rule came into place. I expected the behavior to change even sooner, but it seemed pretty consistent for the first few years. I'm glad to see it is going down. That seems like a high number of overturns though. I hope it's because they are being told to err on the side of caution and let IR correct if necessary. But I also know they are generally taught not to officiate to replay because you never know if the equipment will be down.

The overturns May be part of the rule change. They can’t “let it stand “ so if can’t confirm it must be overturned .
