Oklahoma T Tech hung net

[Dubby]

Two things:

1. 6-7-1 states that a ball is dead when a goal is made.

So why not stop it immediately after the basket but before the ball is inbounded? You could be stopping the clock but not creating a dead ball.



2. 1-10-1 says that the basket shall consist of a white cord mesh net suspended from beneath the ring.

If the net is not hanging freely beneath the ring the basket is an illegal piece of equipment. If you wouldn't start the game that way how can you continue? Are there any other instances where we continue playing with illegal equipment?

Or are you saying that if the ball had already been inbounded that we should way until the team that caused the net to get hung up gets the ball back, therefore not penalizing the opponent?
