It’s been three days since Duke star Kyle Filipowski got hurt when he collided with Wake Forest fans who stormed the court.
He was trying to get off the court when he got run into by a few fans and it led to him suffering a knee injury.
Duke head coach Jon Scheyer then petitioned for court storming to be banned when he spoke to the media, much to the dismay of ESPN’s Scott Farnham. He thinks it’s hypocritical to say that since Duke stormed the field after beating Clemson in football last year.
“You listen to Duke come out now and they say they’re against it and there shouldn’t be court storming. I did not hear that on September 4th 2023 when their football team knocked off Clemson and their entire student section ran out onto the football field. I heard their coach actually sit there and say, ‘This is what college athletics is all about. This is a moment for our program to be seen,'” Farnham said, via On3.
Even though a basketball court is a lot smaller than a football field, it’s still the same principle.
Right now, court storming continues to be tolerated but we’ll see how long it stays that way.
