Our's too. It's one of the most misunderstood rules, methinks.
Here's the wierd(
) part of the play above. As posted by Tim, the only possible call imo could be double technical fouls under R10-3-4. As you well know, Scrappy-Doo, the net is defined as being part of the "basket". Therefore, grabbing the net unless you're trying to avoid injury is a "T", by rule. And, as Tim wrote, both players actually grabbed the net hard enough to cause the rim to move.
Now whether you actually want to call "T"s under those circumstances is a whole 'nother matter.
It would have to be awful damn bad before I'd even think about it.
Thoughts?
