Duke head coach Jon Scheyer wants some action to be taken in response to Saturday’s incident.
Scheyer’s Blue Devils lost at Wake Forest 83-79 at Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C. Then the arena turned into a mad house as fans rushed the court to celebrate the win.
Duke star Kyle Filipowski suffered an ankle injury as some fans collided with him while rushing the court (video here).
Scheyer was very clear in his postgame press conference: he wants court storming to be banned.
“I’m more concerned about the well-being of our guys. Flip sprains his ankle. When are we going to ban court storming? When are we going to ban that? How many times does a player have to get into something where they get punched or they get pushed or they get taunted right in their face? It’s a dangerous thing,” Scheyer said.
