hanging net

I recall reading somewhere if a net hangs up
on the rim because of a made basket, the official
should not blow the whistle to correct the net.
Allow play to continue, anyone remember this!

This isn't specifically addressed in any of the NFHS books so I think it comes down to what is the accepted practice in your area. Around here, everyone hits the whistle and fixes the net immediately. I was working a very competitive boys V game with a couple of officials last week who both do college ball. I was C and the net got stuck after a shot. Not knowing what the college guys around here do, I held my whistle. A split-second later, the T hit his whistle and fixed the net.
