stop the clock to fix the net

I guess we'll just let the home team have it right for their half. No advantage there.

How about a neutral court and it is only one basket. You are going to force one team to play with a bad net and allow a fix at halftime to allow the other team a clean target? Makes no sense to me.

Let's put the shoe on the other foot coach. How are you going to react to this? Your opponent scores and hangs the net. Your player being properly coached grabs the ball right away and makes a long pass down the court. Do you want me to blow the whistle now? Or should I just wait until the team that has the hung net has the ball? Heck, I might forget by then. Or what if they steal your long pass and have a layup at the hung net. Do I blow it now? My solution is to not blow it for a hung net. That way I can piss everyone off and noone can accuse me of favoring the other.
