Seeing your post on this thread reminded me of a conversation that I had with the LV assignor at the last HS state tournament. He told me that the NCAA sent out a memo which instructed the officials not to stop the game for a wrapped net. The reasoning was that many schools were purposely putting longer nets on their rings which would get hung up so that the opposing team could not quickly counter after a made goal.
I have searched for this memo, but never have seen it. I found it particularly interesting because of my belief that you must stop the game for an illegal basket.
It gave me something to think about.
Seems pretty stupid for a school to do this. If they are putting longer nets on BOTH baskets, then it works against them also. If they are just putting it on one basket, it will also work against them for a half.
