Simultaneous basket interference by both teams

Our's too. It's one of the most misunderstood rules, methinks.

Here's the wierd() part of the play above. As posted by Tim, the only possible call imo could be double technical fouls under R10-3-4. As you well know, Scrappy-Doo, the net is defined as being part of the "basket". Therefore, grabbing the net unless you're trying to avoid injury is a "T", by rule. And, as Tim wrote, both players actually grabbed the net hard enough to cause the rim to move.

Now whether you actually want to call "T"s under those circumstances is a whole 'nother matter. It would have to be awful damn bad before I'd even think about it.

Thoughts?
