How did the tradition of cutting down the nets start?
As each team advances to the final quartet, viewers will expect
the teams to celebrate with a time-honored tradition: cutting down
the nets. But not many fans will know where that tradition
originated. Well, legendary high school and college coach Everett
Case is given credit for starting the practice in 1947. In his
first season as coach of North Carolina State, Case's team won the
Southern Conference tournament. Case decided to celebrate by taking
the nets as a souvenir. The practice caught on and now college
teams punctuate tournament titles with some twine trimming.
