I disagree. I think the whistle should be blown immediately when the net becomes stuck after a made basket.
Tough luck if it helps one team and hurts the other.
This is no different thatn when the ball, as it comes through the net, hit someone bounces to midcourt. The whistle is blown and the ball retrieved to resume the play.
Fix the net and continue. A net that is flipped over the ring can certainly change the outcome of a try that contacts the rim in that area. One that is hung up but entirely below the ring, while not likely, may affect the outcome of a try.
