After Wake Forest's victory against Duke, there has been a debate on court-storming safety. Wake Forest AD John Currie expressed regret, ACC commish Jim Phillips released a statement, and Clemson coach Brad Brownell highlighted safety concerns. Duke's Jon Scheyer called for a court storming ban after Kyle Filipowski's injury. There are discussions on banning court-storming or implementing extra safety rules.
Court storming is getting out of hand. https://t.co/dPzELf2FvQ
Should storming the field or court be banned? It could be ended with more security and punishment. It never happens in pro sports. But should it be? My take. Debate, discuss: https://t.co/prevAQzSOD

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

Re: court storming — I see a lot of folks who want to have it both ways. You want to see passion and excitement for regular season college basketball games, but you don’t want to see it expressed *that* way. Good luck with that. https://t.co/r4bv4HUDIV
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
It’s understandable why schools want to stop court-storming and field-storming, but it’s also impractical (and no fun) to stop them. So follow these simple tips. (Thanks to Jermaine O’Neal for the assist.) https://t.co/nXqGyrr0gv
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
College basketball fans mocked Jay Bilas' ridiculous idea of arresting people for court storming after games https://t.co/VfqRVyi33r https://t.co/ZrqKTBD2hi
#Hokies coach Mike Young on court stormings: "I don't like it. I'd like to see it forbidden and a heavy fine. ... I do not think it has any place in college sports. It's dangerous for everyone involved."
#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

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.

ICYMI, Column: If St. John’s is going to salvage its season it’ll mean doing something it hasn’t done in years: surprising some heavy hitters in the Big East Tournament. Maybe it can use Sunday’s near-perfect effort against Creighton as a blueprint.#SJUBB https://t.co/81aQSh9hBE
The way to fix court/field storming is to normalizing it in the way that Clemson has in football. Make it widely known to fans before the game and during the game that they will be allowed on the playing surface after a designated period of time that will allow players to exit.

Absolutely terrific performance by St. John's. There is no doubt that the events of the last week galvanized this team. Pitino could have lost his guys, but he owned the hurt he caused and it brought them closer together. Inspired effort all around.

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.
