dblref, this is an old trick. A team puts the net that will get hung up on the end near their bench. In the second half they can still run and will have time to get back on defense while the net is fixed over and over. It might sound far fetched but in the past it has been done. Teams used to use this tactic against the Showtime Lakers.
Nevadaref, I think your examples are a little far fetched. There are examples opposite of what you are saying when you do wait. Like if a player gets hurt and the other team is on a break away from the hurt player. Plus, if some of your examples happen during a shot, break or foul are you going to stop the game? In some cases yes but in some cases no you will not. Does the net hinder the normal flow of the game? 99 times out of 100 no. Does not having the backboard, rim height, correct ball or running score hinder the flow of the game? 99 times out of 100 yes. By the way, the LV assigner absolutely hates stopping play for the net so he is not a good reference anyway. He hates it to a point where it is funny.
