Yes, there is a rule that will allow you to stop the game in a situation like this. NFHS rule 5-8-2(c) says we can stop play if there's a unusual delay in getting a dead ball live. That works in this situation if you want to go that route.
Note though that there is <b>NO</b> rule authorizing you to stop the game for a net hung-up on a ring. It's not covered in the rules. Some people do. Some don't. Personally, I don't. If nobody on the floor grabs it, I'll wait for a break in play. |
