After a crazy upset victory over the Kansas Jayhawks, the Kansas State Wildcats basketball team was ecstatic! They were so ecstatic that their fans stormed the court, which is a normal happening in the world of college basketball. Storming the court may be fun for the student body, but for players and coaches of the losing team, it can be very dangerous.
Bill Self was caught up around the scorer’s table after the Jayhawks lost 70-63. He had a tough time getting to the locker room.
“It’s fine if you want to celebrate when you beat us, that’s your business,” Self said. “That’s fine. But at least it shouldn’t put anybody at risk from a safety standpoint. Somebody is going to hit a player, the player is going to retaliate, you’re going to have lawsuits—it’s not right. At least (celebrate) around center court.”
As a college basketball fan, I think that storming the court after an upset win is a great thing, but I also think that it should be moderated better by security, because no one wants to see a player or a coach get hurt.
