Net caught on rim after a made basket: How to handle:

If there is a basket attendant supplied by game management, that person can get the net down as play continues to the other end of the court. If play stays at this basket's end (press situation) officials should blow the whistle immediately and get the net down. There would be a possibility of a quick steal and a shot at the basket with the net hung up.

If there is no basket attendant, officials should stop play immediately and get the net down.

If this is a re-occurring situation through the game, game management should be notified by the officials to change the net either at half time or after the game.


And from our discussions in this forum

Some said yes stop and repair others said can't do it.

DTTB:

You are correct with regard to how to handle this situation under NCAA Men's/Women's Rules. Prior to the NCAA ruling there was a NBCofUS&C ruling that applied to both NFHS and NCAA Men's/Women's rules which stated that the game should not be stopped to fix the net. With the new NCAA ruling the NBCofUS&C ruling only applies to NFHS rules.
