INDIANAPOLIS (AP / WVLT-TV)) -- Instant replay has been approved starting next season for last-second shots in high school basketball championship games.

The rule change by the National Federation of State High School Associations allows replay for review of a shot attempt at the end of the fourth quarter or overtime, and only when the last-second shot would affect the outcome of the game.

The rule is not mandatory and leaves the decision whether to use it to each state association.

Your Volunteer-TV Sports Overtime team spoke with TSSAA Executive Director Ronnie Carter on Monday. He says the TSSAA Board
of Control will meet in June to vote on whether or not to adopt the rule change.

The change was prompted by controversial finishes in 2008 championship games in South Carolina, Ohio and Michigan.
