Daddy, there are 2 schools of thought on this within this forum.

1) Stop play at the first opportune moment and fix the net. Treat it almost as a player with a minor injury. If nothing is going on, just blow the whistle and take care of it. If there's a fast break, wait till it finishes. But then get it fixed.

2) Don't stop play at all. Just let the players and/or the play dislodge the net the next time down. This is how I handle it. In my 25 years of playing, coaching, and officiating, I've seen a wrapped net stop a ball from entering the basket exactly ONCE. And it was in a practice when one of the guys was screwing around and tightened the net on purpose. The odds of the wrapped net affecting the play are so small that it doesn't justify stopping the game, in my humble opinion.

You should ask around your area to find out how the more experienced guys expect you to handle it.
