The end of court storming?

[grunewar]

HS Regional Boys Semi-Final Game last night, winning team's fans prematurely stormed the court in the remaining few secs - WHACK!

Winning coach in today's paper, "Luckily it didn't decide the game for us."

Other than fining the schools as the SEC does the only rule I can think of that would reduce the problem is restricting the areas where students are allowed to sit, i.e., "No students in the first ten rows of the stands." It's not a guarantee but at least it would take them longer to get to the court and security would have more time to stop them.

Let them storm the court, then cordon it off and fine /arrrest them.
