Have you ever seen that happen? Ever? Game? Warm-ups? Practice?

I've never seen it, while I have seen the ball actually go through and "un-stick" a stuck net many times.

I've been taught to never stop the game for a net because it gives the team that just scored the advantage of setting up their defense because you've stopped the game at that point. And that would happen far more times than the ball coming back out. In many of my games, while the game goes to the other end of the court, someone runs over and takes care of it. Or, there is a stoppage of play before the ball gets back to that end.

I agree, it would be a real shame if the ball ever did come back out as a result. And, thanks a lot, now it will probably happen to me.
