Is your dinner plate suspended from the table? No. Yet it doesn't fall to the floor. Do you really have no idea what suspended means? "To hang so as to allow free movement" (American Heritage Dictionary).

Isn't the net still HANGING from the ring even when it's bottom is curled up on top of the ring? "Hanging":- from Dictionary.com--"to fasten or attach a thing so that it is only supported from ABOVE or at a point near it's top; suspend." If the net is on top of the ring, tell me how it can then be supported from above, Camron? Nice try picking out a definition that could be skewed to fit your skewed thinking.

Back in the old days, the netting could get caught up in the rim "hook & eye" gizmos after a swish. But usually it was not in a position to reject a ball on a shot. Nothing a good layup wouldn't cure.

Here's my last contribution to this thread. Fix it. But don't stop the game. If it happens more than once, have a kid stand near the endline and poke it with a broom or something once the players are on the other end of the court.
Nobody is saying that you can't fix it. Just don't stop the game to do it. JMHO. |

You just made my point for me. Even hanging say that the support is above the object. If the net is over the ring, the ring can't be above the net.

After everything I have read here debating this, I would say I would stop the game based on rule 1-10-1 ... 15-18 inches in length, suspended from beneath the rim.
or if possible and known - change the nets. Not fair to the shooters to have to shoot at a not normal looknig target. |

http://secure.referee.com/index.cfm?...Product_ID=307 It is not immediately clear who is responsible for the content. Is it Referee, Inc., NASO, the NFHS, all of the above, or some of each. These groups are contracting with each other more everyday and now have joint ventures and publications. We've had that discussion before, so I don't wish to rehash it. Anyway as that is a minor point, I'm not going to quibble over it. I'm just confused as to why the NFHS would publish the Officials Manual and also partake in the writing of this Officials Guidebook. Anyway what I would like to focus upon is that I would like to see exactly what was written in this book from whichever officiating source it comes on the issue of the flipped up net. I'm sure that it could be helpful. Thanks for making me aware of this publication. |

Virginia State Interpreter Says "Play On"
After seeing the lack of consensus in this thread, I contacted the Virginia High School League's state basketball interpreter. She replied:
"DO NOTHING. Officials should not stop play to fix the net, even if the team playing toward that basket complains." |
