Court Storming

Remove all crowds and fans. Don't let anyone attend games.
More players are injured playing than in court storming, so we should probably have the players in bunkers controlling Android facsimiles of themselves with video game controllers.

That idiot made no attempt to get out of the way, in fact he was trying to get in the middle of it by moving as slowly as humanly possible toward the bench. That said, those Wake students coming in full bore were also reckless as hell. That's the kind of crap that ruins it for everyone.
Just seen it…he sure didn’t help himself avoid it hell he was staring down the kid that was coming in full bore and still took the step (almost like he was trying to trip the person)
Now that i'm home to get better views of it, what a failure by WF security. It wasn't like it was unclear that the students were about to rush, yet there was absolutely zero security presence to keep the students clear of the players. And duke should have been getting out of there more quickly
WF deserves a huge fine for that lack of security, but court storming in and of itself isn't the issue here.

It is an overhead angle, ESPN has been showing it during the studio segments of the Bedlam game. I tried recording it from my phone but CF won't let me upload. It really does look like Caitlin Clark part 2. He puts his forearms up and extends to shove the fan, then gets hurt in the process. He initiates the contact.
what were the Duke coaches doing there down 4? just have all the players near the bench and not all the way on the other side of the eventual court storm.
Injured knee, sprained ankle, same thing. Makes me think he isn't actually hurt and he'll be playing next game.
IMO the WF students were idiots for plowing into players, but Duke players knew that the court was going to be stormed and lingered right in the middle of the court anyway. So yeah - I think the Duke player shares some of the blame for getting injured.
Yep. Failures all around. Dumb students, complete lack of security presence to divert the rush away from players, and dumb decisions by Duke to not even try to avoid it.
Dumb students (or crowds in general) isn't something likely to change.

Most solutions that have students in shock collars are good ones.
Yeah the first one was a weak taunting but the second student definitely tried to give him a fore arm shiver.
