Court Storming

[Cyhig]

I don’t necessarily have an issue with court storming as students are just trying to enjoy the moment with their peers. However, students should be smarter and not run at a full sprint onto the court.
Edit: same for players… looking at you, CC

Security has to stop them until the players get off the court. ISU did a good job of protecting KU players during the court storm.

Only laughing at the security needs to stop them. I know ISU did a good job vs KU.

Yep. Also run around the opposing players, not into them.

storm troopers are the only way

Lmao, like what?

Retirees working part-time putting up string to try to stop them isn't working. As you can see from the Duke game, a manager yelling " Get the **** out of here" doesn't do much either.

Yet it works everywhere they have an actual security plan. Funny that.

Police have the capacity to arrest hundreds of people at once? There's probably only a couple cops working every game.

That’s the point. If they could have stopped it by now, they would have. I suppose you could put all students in the upper deck. That might stop the court storming, but would probably cause other problems.

They'd just jump down

I think it’s the player’s fault in this one. Grayson Allen woulda punched the wake student in the face then stomped on his nuts while he was on the ground.

Problem solved.

Duke player had absolutely zero awareness there. Slowly walking back at mid-court is just stupid on his part

If you have security guards lined up with arms stretched out it stops most of the students. I've seen schools, including ISU, do it many times. It's not that hard to slow down or stop if they are prepared.

I agree. ISU has a plan in place. Event management is very reactive it seems like and Wake Forest hasn’t exactly been competitive with top ranked teams.

I think the only legit solution is an Invisible Fence system around the court, with students required to wear shock collars.

What about the exploding collars they made prisoners wear from the beginning of the movie Running Man.

I think they said this was their first sellout in seven yrs.

I woudn't say he got taken out, it looked more awkward than anything. It didn't look like much of a collision.

There is another angle of this that ESPN was showing that really look to me like he pushes the fan as the guy runs in front of him and gets hurt in the process. I don't think he is an entirely innocent victim here.

This should be a wake up call to all schools. Get a plan in place to mitigate court storming and execute it. When done properly, it can prevent things like this from happening.

If you can find it can you post it?

 

[barometriclow]

I'm old enough to remember when Caitlin Clark got murdered in a court storm.

Fortunately the Cat has nine lives.

Caitlin Clark, part Deux?
