I never said I would stop it immediately. Like someone else has said, I would address it as soon as no direct attack on the basket was in progress.

[/B][/QUOTE]How is that philosophy really any different than the posters who say they'll wait for a natural whistle? Aren't both sides just using their own best judgement as to when they think that play should stop? Who's to say who's judgement is wrong then?

Btw, team A is losing by 4 with a few seconds left in the game. They don't have any time-outs left. A1 makes a three-pointer to put them 1 point down with 5 seconds to go. The net flips up when the shot is made. Are you going to stop play because "no direct attack on the basket was in progress"?
