Z, I've seen the net get flipped plenty of times. It's not uncommon. Maybe that's our confusion. I'm not talking about simply having the net flip up. I agree that happens quite often. What's uncommon in my experience is to have the flipped net interfere with a shot. The flipped net is almost never flipped so tightly as to prevent the shot from going through.
The "one time" I refered to was not in a game, but during a team practice 20-odd years ago. My teammate was trying to be funny so he flipped the net over the rim, then jumped again and pulled it through tightly. Next guy in the layup line had his layup sit on top of the net. That's the only time I've ever seen the net stop a shot from going through.
