The way I read it, the violation was called and that sparked the argument. I do think preventative officiating may have helped in this case given the prior game, but again, I wasn't there so I don't know the whole circumstances.

As for the net, I can easily grab it myself or, if necessary, use the ball, but I simply ask one of the players to take care of it for me on the remote chance that something embarrassing could happen (torn net, net won't come down, etc). We already have enough on our plates without dealing with the nets.
I did not call the violation. The level was high school girls. As far as the mechanics, this type of tournament requires about 18-20 games over the weekend so if I can begin walking up the court and save my legs I would often be ahead of the play as long as there wasn't pressure. So, you leave the net up if it gets caught??
