I see that you took your funny pills today, JR. :D That's nice.

I'm surprised that nobody suggested that you do NOT jump up and try to fix it yourself. I assume you already knew that.

That's one way to quickly lose all the cool points you thought you might-a had.

Nope, I don't think this was just an IHSA thing. But it must have been a long time back because I don't remember it in the last 8-9 years. Was it before that Rut? Nevada, as for your immediate stoppage, you're going to stop a fast break by the opponents to fix a net. I don't think so. Just wait for a dead ball then take care of it if it hasn't been taken care of by a shot.

Yeah, like I'm gonna reach the net! :D

There was an actual case play at one time iirc. And it did say to wait for a play stoppage to fix the net. Like many case plays, it simply disappeared with no comment.

What fast break? :confused:
Don't we have a dead ball on the goal that was scored which caused the net to get hung up? :confused:

I'm taking care of this right away during that dead ball.

If a player <b>immediately</b> grabs the ball coming out of the basket before it touches the floor and <b>immediately</b> steps OOB and <b>immediately</b> turns to throw the quick outlet pass, you're still gonna blow your whistle, Nevada? Even though that "dead ball" lasted less than a second? Even though you're probably not completely sure in that little space of time that the net will still stay up there?

Somehow, that doesn't really surprise me.

My thoughts are you do not stop play to fix the net.
It shall remain in that position until cleared by some other
method, another basket, player pulling down, etc.
For those of you that DO stop play, will you allow a sub
sitting at the table in the game?

If the game is stopped, substitution is allowed.

Most of the time I see that the thing is hung up is after the play had already restarted. I don't look at the net after each shot. I'm watching the players, inbounds play, or breaking to my spot. I'm sure there are plenty of fans who will yell about the net if we don't see it.

Why didn't scrapper suggest that? http://www.runemasterstudios.com/gra...s/blueevil.gif

Hadn't happened to me all season. Then I saw this thread yesterday.

It happened twice last night, once on a two-handed dunk.

We killed it both times.

For me it depends on the situation. If the new offense is grabbing the ball from the net and looking to push it, I'll let it go. If not, I'll kill it.

Not to be nosy, but are his reasons public knowledge? If so, why is he "in hiding?" Just curious.
