I've been taught to never stop the game for a net because it gives the team that just scored the advantage of setting up their defense because you've stopped the game at that point. And that would happen far more times than the ball coming back out. In many of my games, while the game goes to the other end of the court, someone runs over and takes care of it. Or, there is a stoppage of play before the ball gets back to that end.
I agree, it would be a real shame if the ball ever did come back out as a result. And, thanks a lot, now it will probably happen to me.   |
Yes, I've seen it. It was hung up so much that no ball was going to get through. It took a ladder to get up there and unhook it. Even a roller would be affected by the bumping the twine that is laying across the top of the rim...it may make a shot go in that would not have or it may make a shot miss that would have gone it.
The team doesn't make the net get hung up, so any advantage they get is just a part of the game. And most of the time, the other team isn't pushing the tempo while they are wanting to press anyway so stopping it has no effect at all.
