The end of court storming?
NCAAM Gamecast - New Mexico State vs Utah Valley
Wondering if the NCAA will now come out with some regulations preventing fans from rushing the court after games. |

I hope so.
I saw this and was wondering the same thing. Someone is going to get seriously hurt and then there will be a law suit, blah, blah, blah..... A one-time, instantaneous celebration and show of exuberance and support has now turned into a pre-calculated opportunity at hooliganism and chance to get on Sports Center. (Ya know, kinda like the Gatorade shower). Off soap box.

If the officials were still on the floor, IMHO they should have given #12 a flagrant foul for throwing the ball at an opposing player. If they had left the floor already, the conference should suspend #12 for one game. #25 should be suspended for at least 3 games for punching a fan, and then running like a coward.
And I am in total agreement about the rushing the floor issue. I'm surprised this does not happen more often. While the conferences and/or NCAA must work on this issue, if you as a fan rush the court, I have no pity for you if you get clocked. Stay off the floor. |

The game was over. You expect them to stand in that middle scene so they can issue T's? |

I'm betting the WAC office gets involved and hands some sort of suspension out here.I hope that more conferences take the SEC's approach to storming fields/courts-fine the member institution in the aftermath of this incident.Maybe the Coaches get involved in their off-season meetings and make a rule change?

That said, we all know the rules state that the jurisdiction has not yet ended as the officials were still on the court, would anyone call a flagrant (or anything else) during this scenario?? |

Knee jerk reaction is to get rid of storming the court. The proper reaction is to punish the idiots that started and escalated this.
Pegging the opponent. STUPID Charging 100+ fans of the opposing team. STUPID Going after a home player who said something to idiot #1 who chucked the ball. STUPID The problem isn't the act of storming the court, which has happened hundreds of times without incident, it's the act of a small handfull of guys that can't control themselves and do STUPID things.

My fault, I didn't word that question very clearly, I agree that I'd likely nail the kid who threw the ball, what I really meant to ask is would you try to use your jurisdiction as an official to penalize the actions that ensued AFTER the ball toss?

I did a pre-season scrimmage between these two schools and it went well. Makes me wonder what on earth happened in this game. I am so happy Utah will be known as the first school to have a student go down and hit an opposing player...
*hides*

I happened to see one of the three officials this morning in the SLC Airport. We talked for a few minutes about the game and what happened. What a mess.
