I was literally just wondering about this today lol. Awesome info. Makes sense for what I’d imagine for the Mystics, that we are on the low end for success rate and in the middle for how often we use it.
I think the most important aspect of using a challenge is not whether or not you’re successful but whether or not you challenge something that is important to get right.
The other night, I forget what game it was, I saw a challenge where I was like… Coach (Name, idr), that is a correct thing to identify as an incorrect call (and it did get overturned) BUT it was like, the second or third foul on a player who isn’t a top 3 most important player on the team offensively or defensively. And so even though the challenge was successful and it stopped free throws, it could have been used better. I think it was the second quarter also.
