Fix net or not?

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

I found the NCAA Memorandum that address the net problem. It is dated January 11, 2000.

For NCAA games, here is how it is to be handled:

Net caught on rim after a made basket: How to handle:

If there is a basket attendant supplied by game management, that person can get the net down as play continues to the other end of the court. If play stays at this basket's end (press situation) officials should blow the whistle immediately and get the net down. There would be a possibility of a quick steal and a shot at the basket with the net hung up.

If there is no basket attendant, officials should stop play immediately and get the net down.

If this is a re-occurring situation through the game, game management should be notified by the officials to change the net either at half time or after the game.
