A similar post from last season:

Since then, I've been told that I could have asked the table crew for help. Comments?

From a scoreboard/timer's POV, I, myself, do watch the ball closely so that I can properly report the points on the board. I haven't noticed any shots in the games I've done where the ball has hit a wire or other obstruction overhead as of yet. Now you've reminded me that when I go in & do scoreboard/timer or shot clock, that I'll have to look closely at the baskets to see what the possibilities are of something like that happening.

The wiring in question is that from the wench used to hoist the baskets up when not in use (Wrestling, Volleyball, other events) or are additional supports to hold basket up.
