I'll preface this by saying that it's inexcusable that nets gets stuck after made shots in NCAA tournament games. This is something that should be rectified before the games start.

Anyway ...

I've noticed that during the tournament when a net does get stuck after a made shot, the officials have been stopping the game to fix the net. Is this poper procedure?

Our high school board instructs us to leave the net stuck, unless there is a dead-ball opportunity at that end of the floor to get them unstuck. The theory, we are told, is that by stopping the game to fix the net, we could be allowing the scoring team to set up a press and/or we could be preventing the scored upon team from running a quick secondary break.

Anyone have thoughts on this?
