Maury Ballstein Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 So Mr. I get all of the calls and berate the refs at every opportunity is mad his team got stomped by the UVA Cavaliers last night. Now he's flaming everyone over the fans storming the court? Quit crying you baby. Everyone knows UVA is going to storm the court, and IIRC there have not been any injuried over "courtstorming" Can't stand this SOB............GO HEELS!

PaattMaann Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 in all four of dukes losses this season, the opposing fans have stormed the court - get over yourselves, its just Duke, theres no need to have a parade and burn the city because you won a basketball game coach K is one of the (read: the best) best basketball coaches to ever live - and as you see in the espn story, he stated MULTIPLE TIMES about how great a win it was for virginia's program - and that storming the court is fine, just let the players/coaches get to the locker room so they are not injured in the chaos - "thats great, you should storm the court, burn benches, I dont care" - he's a concerned coach looking out for his players and coaching staff well being - how easily a drunk college !@#$ could storm the court, punch him in the face, or worse, take out a knee of one of his players who is lost for the season storming courts should be reserved for MONUMENTAL wins - not your average, run of the mill upsets...

Maury Ballstein Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) dukes won 17 of 18 vs UVA IIRC. it's a big deal. and to boot, none of those future Physicians or Lawmen are hurting anyone FWIW. UVA is the bowtie/wine and cheese country. im a huge UNC fan who feels Coach K gets all the calls always (same for Peyton Manning for a long time) he knows the courtstorming is gonna happen, should just leave the 5 scrubs on the court and make everyone else go to locker room before final buzzer. I love to hate on the dukies. nothing pleases me more, I don't know if you caught coach K's bitter rant after Maryland beat em also. coach K your recipient of the "GET OFF MY LAWN" for 2013.

Beerball Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Don't see how it can be implemented practically, but he's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) Don't see how it can be implemented practically, but he's right. The SEC has already implemented it. Fines for storming the court. So far, no one has broken the rule. While that is a little extreme, it has worked. Coach K (the greatest coach alive right now) is correct. Allowing college kids to storm the court before the other team is off is a recipe for disaster. he is to a degree, but it's a bunch of excited 18 year olds just jumping up and down and saying WOOOOOOOOOOOOO, it's part of collegiate sports IMO. And you dont see where a problem could arise from that? A kid got in his face last night. It has already happened. He's not saying to ban it completely, all he's saying is to make sure the other team is off the court first. It's a good idea.

Fines for who, the school or individual students? Same rule in place for football and does it have the same result? Comparing SEC BB to ACC BB isn't exactly apples to apples.

PaattMaann Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 ripping down the goal posts USED to be part of college football until it was deemed unsafe and not allowed - it can be prevented, mace those little drunk co-eds : ) the bottom line is: coach K is well within his right to voice his concern over safety, every time they lose its an earth shattering event where college kids storm the court.... and as a duke fan, I disagree he gets all the calls : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maury Ballstein Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 if its a recipe for disaster then why have there been no accounts of anything of substance that has happened at a courtstorming? i would agree if anything happened, but IIRC with 20 courtstormings i have watched, its all just fun and games and youngsters hopping around. i like it personally, but I liked Stevie's happy new year and why so serious also unlike a ton here.

Beerball Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 The school. Regardless of the conference, it has motivated the schools to provide the proper security to prevent it. What about football? Have the results been the same (no field storming)? Reason I ask is because proper security would mean a guard every 2-3 feet ringing the entire court.

Jauronimo Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If you wait for permission you're not really storming the court. Storming the court is a farce now. Happens all the time and its clearly premeditated. Its not even close to being that once in a decade, spontaneous overflow of emotion where everyone suddenly decides to follow the lone nutjob that runs onto the playing surface.

DrDawkinstein Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 (edited) What about football? Have the results been the same (no field storming)? I dont know, dont really care. I dont agree with getting rid of it completely. Just giving the other team a minute to get off the playing area. edit: and it hasnt been 100%. Skip Bayless just mentioned Vanderbilt was fined $25,000 in 2002 for storming the court. Again, dont really care. Let the kids storm if they want to, just secure the other team.

I dont have anything against storming the court. However, a coach was on Mike & Mike this morning discussing when he lost a star player for the year due to a court storming. So it has happened, regardless if Ryan personally witnessed it or not. Protect the visiting team. Simple as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protect the visiting team. Simple as that. agreed, that was my point, and more importantly that was coach K's point - storm the court, great, fine, burn down the city - but get the other team out of there first if these schools didnt just suck at life and would win games regularly, there would be no reason to ever storm the court...."yayyy we suck forever, but look at us now, we won a game!!!!"

Maury Ballstein Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 i get it........Coach K is turning into Mr. get off my lawn in every loss though. He flamed Maryland after they beat em..............seems to be a pattern of entitlement and a tad Belichekian. but i hate the guy so of course i am biased.

Matteboots Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 If anyone saw the Duke vs. UNC game a few weeks ago, Coach K specifically went out of his way at the end of the game to inform his crowd not to rush the court until UNC was off the court. If he was just being a sore loser that would be one thing but he's always been a class act that practices what he preaces. I think it is smart. I am sure there have been minor injuries and/or verbal altercations between some drunked up home team fans and the opposing players during these situations but theyve never been nationally talked about. All i see is a coach looking out for the safety of his players. Nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
