Coaches could appeal a judgement call a set number of times per game, just like they now use time-outs. An official could be stationed in a booth away from the playing area; he'd make the final decision. I really do think that this would keep the delays down, and only using the replays a small number of times per game would make the delays worthwhile as only the most highly disputed calls would be affected by the replays.
