I think I have said it before. I have seen it! The net flipped up over the top of the rim so far that the back side of the net caught on one of the frontside hooks as it flipped over. Essentially, the net was pulled across the diameter of the rim from back to front, no ball could get more than 3-4 inches below the rim level before the net would be pulled tight and flip it out. Found this out not during play, luckily, becasue it was whistled dead. Upon trying to toss the ball up through, it promptly rejected the attempt. The net was only cleared by climbing up to the rim and unhooking the net from the loops.

My personal opinion is that the flipped net NEVER actually interferes with the ball going into the basket. Therefore, I will NEVER blow my whistle during a live ball to fix the net. It will fix itself the next time that team scores. For other (that means "incorrect" ) opinions, go to another thread on the this very topic.
