If the net is not hanging freely beneath the ring the basket is an illegal piece of equipment. If you wouldn't start the game that way how can you continue? Are there any other instances where we continue playing with illegal equipment?

Soooooo....you're saying that if the ball goes through when the net's up there on the ring, you're gonna wave the shot off for having been scored in an illegal basket?
I can see it now. A down 4 with a few seconds to go. A1 scores, and the net hangs up. B1 takes the ball out for a quick throw-in, The throw-in is stolen by A2 right under the basket. A2 goes up to shoot...and the referee blows his whistle because the net is hung up. Just to make it interesting, let's say that time now runs out within the allowed 1 second lag time for the timer to stop the clock.
Remember, be consistent if you're gonna call this. Gotta call it in all situations.
