aaahhh I knew you would come thru JR. And that is the answer I expected. I agree, this is what the rule states, no arguement. As I am learning the rules I also refer back to page 10, prior to Rule 1, where it talks about knowing the intent and purpose of the rules so that it may be intelligently applied to each play situation. That said, I believe this to be a play that you have to judge and as you state in your subsequent post.... handle with care. I would hope the intent and purpose of this rule is not to penalize the offense by removing a certain basket due to inadvertant contact with the net by a teammate.
