Interesting. In a Fed. game a great deal of emphasis is put on safety (no jewelry, no hard objects in hair no exposed hinges on braces no hard casts etc.) of the players. IMHO unitied shoes falls into this category. I agree don't take away a good scoring opportuinity but why not after a made basket or a team is walking the ball up the court blow the whistle and have the issue resolved? If you came across spilled water on the floor would you not take care of it at the most opportune moment?
I think the argument here would be that a stuck net is not a safety issue.
