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.

Well, there you go - 1 isolated event in 2 officials' lifetimes. Still not enough for me to warrant stopping a game every time a net gets stuck. Especially since I haven't seen a rule, case play, or mention in the official's manual that backs stopping live play for this. Fix it during the next dead ball.
Of course, check with your local assignor or association to see if there's a policy.
