How many times does this happen? When is the last time you actually saw a shot that was prevented from entering the basket by a flipped net?

In 25 years of playing, coaching and officiating, I've seen it exactly one time. And that was during a practice when my teammate intentionally flipped it and pulled as tight as he could.

In the normal course of play, this never happens. Don't stop the game. When you get a clock stoppage, if you feel compelled, then go ahead and get it down. There is no reason to stop the clock to "fix" the net.
