Hung Net

[BillyMac]

Didn't the NFHS come out with an interpretation regarding this about 10-15 years ago? I think that they said to fix nets once, or twice, but after that, forget about the nets, and play ball.

I'm sure that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. can find the answer up in his attic "library". He can't complain that it's too cold this time of the year.

It's even been suggested here that if it happens more than twice to have a member of the home team's school stay under the basket to "free it up" as the ball goes the other way.

We have some Rec Refs who blow it dead and stop the clock every time. I never do. I personally have never seen it prevent a basket.

If it's a rec league game with a running clock, then whistle it dead every time!

Sort of. I seem to recall them saying something to the effect of "if it is discovered in pre-game, have the nets changed," but I don't recall them saying anything about what to do once the game started. Like many other responses from them, that was very frustrating.

Play on. If they are a problem, have the home management change them at halftime, if possible.

Nets? What are nets? We don't have those on the peach baskets.

Good point Nevada! However, this league doesn't have a running clock and these Refs blow thier whistle to stop the clock every time......and that's just WRONG!
