Net Hung Up

[eckert]

A1 takes a jump shot from near the free thrown line. The shot goes in, but as a result, the net flops up on the rim and stays there. (It is not hooked, but just lying in that position.) Should the official: (1) stop play in order to clear the net; (2) allow play to continue unless and until the team whose net is flopped up on the rim requests that it be cleared; (3) ignore the flopped net altogether. Is there any rulebook, casebook or official's manual support?

The answer is your number 1.

Juulie, are you attempting to rustle a certain, little, short, referee to come out of hiding? I was just reading this old thread this morning. Mr. AnnoyingGrammarGuy sure got riled up during this session.

Heck no!! I miss him a lot around here, things just are too tall without him, but I understand his reasons for going "into hiding" and I certainly don't want to interfere with those!!

And for the record, I agree with him. But I don't want to argue about it. So I took the easy way out.

Play on. There's no rules support for stopping play under either Fed or NCAA.

I don't know if its still there, but there was either a case play or something in the back of the old Fed books in the comments section that addressed this. It said to handle it (i.e. change nets) in warm-ups if possible, but if not continue on.

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

He's not hiding.

Chuck started doing some NCAA D1 games this year. He didn't think that it would be a good idea to continue posting and maybe get involved in confrontations, flames, etc. It was his own personal choice. I can see his reasoning. You never know who is reading these forums or how they might react to some posts.

He is certainly missed.

On the bright side, it looks like he has been ably replaced by Old School and Scrappy1.

Rule 1-10-1:
...and a white-cord 12-mesh net, 15 to 18 inches in length, suspended from beneath the ring.


If it is laying over the top of the ring, it is not suspended beneath.

This explanation strikes me as being, what someone recently called, overly ANALytical. JMHO

There's a lot of Nevada Ref in you, Camron.

And that ain't a good thing.....

There does seem to be a growing resemblance doesn't there.

Where is the rule, case play, or NFHS interpretation that states you stop the game and pull the net back down?
