The debate over banning court storming in college basketball has intensified following a recent incident where Duke's Kyle Filipowski sprained his ankle after fans at Wake Forest stormed the court. Duke Head Coach Jon Scheyer, along with other college basketball figures and analysts, has called for immediate action to prevent such incidents, referencing past injuries like Caitlin Clark's. Wake Forest Athletic Director John Currie expressed regret over the event and acknowledged the need for better protection for players and officials, highlighting the ACC's role in addressing the issue. The incident has sparked widespread discussion among sports analysts, coaches, and fans about the safety of players and the potential for banning or regulating court storming to ensure safety.
Court storming. We need to discuss… https://t.co/CzZelgg49g
Should fans get arrested for storming the court?
This is not the first time there’s been public — or private — backlash to court-storming. After incidents to Caitlin Clark and Kyle Filipowski, there’s a renewed push for change. But will anything come of this? https://t.co/UQGlaSsXCA https://t.co/A4EextZHdI
Should something be done to mitigate court and field storming at the collegiate level?

ESPN got Jay Bilas on every show since Saturday lol. Man hasn't gotten to sleep. Nonstop pushing the idea that they need to ban court storming.
What consequences should fans face for storming the court? https://t.co/PSGUNRuxgl
What happened at Wake Forest can’t happen again. That’s the one part of this everybody can agree upon. Where the debate lies is in the court-storm itself: Is this something worth allowing to continue, safely? Or does it have to stop? https://t.co/3qT4tabyQZ

#UVA coach Tony Bennett on court stormings: "Either you better have great security and stop them from storming until the players clear the court ... or, I don't know what other leagues are doing, fine them."
From @TheAthletic: Court storms have long been some of the most iconic visuals in college basketball, but they’ve increasingly come under fire for player safety concerns. Should they be banned? https://t.co/ZJw571gW5S

.@RealSkipBayless calls for the NCAA to ban court storming after latest incident: https://t.co/nPeL3Da1un
More Scheyer: "Players and coaches and officials are the only people who belong on a court ... Something needs to be done immediately." Notes how the ACC is the only league that doesn't even hand out fines for court storms.
"The ACC needs to do something" to protect not just Duke's players, but all players during possible court-storm scenarios, Scheyer adds. https://t.co/N5TN6J39AI
Scheyer said there was a Wake Forest student face-to-face with Jared McCain and said there was something similar going on with Mark Mitchell. "The ACC needs to do something," Scheyer said about controlling court storming.

Duke’s Jon Scheyer Calls for Court Storming Ban After Kyle Filipowski Injury https://t.co/qwLWYigqoG
I don’t there’s a way to stop or ban court-storming. You’re talking about thousands of fans/students against, what, 50-100 part-time security personnel? But there is a way to better protect the opposing team. That’s what schools have to focus on.

The angles showing Filipowski knocking a Wake fan down are not a good look at all for him, but it only further supports the idea of BAN COURT STORMS. Don't put players and opposing fans in close proximity at high speed. Bad stuff happens!

It’s is beyond incumbent on schools to put measures in place to protect the players from court storming. It should not be that hard.
