With all due respect, Camron, (and as usual, I absolutely mean that sincerely) that statement is obviously false. If the ball bounces to midcourt, the clock continues to run, shortening the game time. This clearly has an effect on the game. We don't stop the game in that situation b/c of the location of the ball; we stop the game to make sure that the kids get the full 16 minutes of playing time. That clearly affects the game. The flipped net does
nothing to affect the game.

A net that is flipped over the ring can certainly change the outcome of a try that contacts the rim in that area.

While remotely possible, it happens so infrequently (less than once in 25 years, in my experience) that it is not worth interrupting the game for.
