马刺的教练挑战通常都能成功，但他们可以更频繁地使用它。
几年前，NBA 设立了“教练挑战权”：允许教练在比赛的任何时刻对他们认为的错误判罚提出挑战。如果挑战成功，他们将保留暂停机会并拥有再次挑战的权利；如果挑战失败，他们将失去暂停机会且无法再次挑战。本赛季，联盟大多数的挑战都发生在第四节，改判率为 51%。但改判率最高的出现在第三节（67.1%）。根据NBA 官方数据（数据截至 1 月 19 日），最常见的被改判的情况是界外球，改判率高达 76.6%。
周五，NBA Recap 播客发布了关于挑战频率和成功率的帖子。虽然有些信息已经发生了变化，但对于 NBA 球迷来说，这仍然是一份不错的功课，因为了解在此之前的情况是如何发展的很有价值。
如上所示，圣安东尼奥马刺成功推翻错误判罚的概率为 69.6%，略高于联盟平均水平。除非上半场发生极其恶劣的误判，否则马刺通常会将挑战机会留到下半场。然而，尽管成功率不错，但米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)的使用频率可能还不够高，41 场比赛仅使用了 23 次挑战（其中 2 次是由格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)在他执教的五场比赛中使用的）。
最近，马刺在 1 月 4 日至 8 日期间连续四次挑战成功，追平了他们在 10 月 26 日至 11 月 6 日期间创造的最长连胜纪录。他们在 11 月 11 日战胜国王的比赛中也成功推翻了两次判罚，在 1 月 6 日输给芝加哥的比赛中也成功推翻了两次判罚。此外，马刺在第三节的挑战成功率（83%）高于第四节（54.5%）。所以问题是，为什么他们不更多地使用挑战权呢？
或许他们可以通过聘请一位曾经是裁判的助教来改善与裁判的沟通。前 NBA 裁判员了解关键术语。这位助教必须反应迅速，因为太多的教练因为需要向替补席寻求建议而浪费了宝贵的秒数。（这方面是有先例的：前 NFL 教练、超级碗冠军布鲁斯·阿里安斯(Bruce Arians)在坦帕湾海盗队执教时，他的团队中就有一位裁判顾问拉里·罗斯(Larry Rose)。）
例如，三分球出手时的犯规与否有时界限模糊。考虑到公众在每场比赛中都能看到防守球员对多个三分球出手犯规，拥有一位对规则和重点强调点有深刻理解的联络人可能会帮助马刺不时地节省几分。此外，这样的聘用将有所帮助，因为约翰逊和教练组需要额外的鼓励来更频繁地使用挑战权。他们善于运用直觉，而不是仅仅被球员的情绪所左右，所以为什么不呢？

A closer look at how the Spurs use their coach’s challenges
The Spurs are usually successful with their coach’s challenges, but they could use it more often.
A few years ago, the NBA created the “Coach’s Challenge”: a rule that allows coaches to challenge a perceived incorrect call at any point in the game. If they are successful, they keep their timeout and retain the right to challenge one more call in the game; if they are unsuccessful, they lose their timeout and cannot challenge again. This season, most of the league’s challenges have come in the fourth quarter, with a 51 percent overturn rate. But most calls are getting changed in the third quarter (67.1 percent). The most common situation that gets rescinded is the out-of-bounds play at 76.6 percent, per NBA Official, which has data up to Jan. 19.
On Friday, the NBA Recap pod posted on the frequency and success of challenges. While some information has changed, it would still be good homework for NBA fans because it is valuable to know how things were shaking up until that point.

As shown above, the San Antonio Spurs are successfully overturning poor referee decisions 69.6 percent of the time: slightly above league average. Unless something egregious happens in the first half, the Spurs are usually saving their opportunity for dispute until the second half. Yet, despite a decent success rate, Mitch Johnson may not use them enough, with only 23 challenges in 41 games (2 of which were used by Gregg Popovich in the five games he coached).
Lately, the Spurs have four successful challenges between Jan. 4-8, which ties their longest streak set between Oct. 26-Nov. 6. They also got two calls overturned on Nov. 11 in the win against the Kings, and two in the loss on Jan. 6 in Chicago. Furthermore, the Spurs have a higher success rate in the third quarter (83 percent) than the fourth (54.5 percent). So the question is, why aren’t they using it more?
Perhaps they can improve their communication with the refs by hiring an assistant who used to be on their side. Former NBA officials understand the key terminology. This assistant would have to be quick on the draw, as too many coaches lose valuable seconds because they have to look at the bench for advice. (There is a precedent for this: ex-NFL coach and Super Bowl champion Bruce Arians with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had an officiating consultant, Larry Rose, on his staff.)
For example, what is and is not a foul on a three-point attempt can be hazy at times. Considering how the public is guaranteed to see defenders foul multiple three-point attempts in every game, having a liaison with a supreme understanding of the rules and points of emphasis could possibly help the Spurs save a few points from time to time. To boot, a hire like this would help because Johnson and the staff need extra encouragement to use them more often. They’re good at using their instincts and not just going off players’ emotions, so why not?
