The whole stands enjoyed a laugh at the refs expense. Ever since that I decided not to put myself in that situation.

How about...
Rule 1-10 BASKET SIZE, MATERIAL
ART. 1 . . . Each basket shall consist of a single metal ring, 18 inches in inside diameter, its flange and braces, and a white-cord 12-mesh net, 15 to 18 inches in length, suspended from beneath the ring.
If it is wrapped over the top, it is not suspended. If it is lying across the top of the rim, it can affect any shot that makes contact with it. It should be fixed.
For none of the specifications in rule 1 is a rememdy specified but I doubt anyone would consider continuing play when a breakaway rim didn't return to position after being legally pulled down or when a ball spontaneously goes flat.

It's very well possible that you are comparing apples to oranges.
