Self speaks out
Kansas coach Bill Self was upset that his Jayhawks got caught in the middle of a court-storming after Monday’s game, saying some of his players were hit by overzealous fans.
“This has got to stop,” Self said. “Court storming is fine, but surely, you can security to the point where player safety is not involved like it is over here. The last several times they’ve won, they’ve stormed the court on us. That’s disappointing that that happened again, but we also allowed it to happen again by not paying well.”
Kansas State coach Bruce Weber understood Self’s concerns. He hopes something can be done in the future to ensure everyone’s safety.
“I apologized to Bill and his staff and to their administration,” Weber said. “I felt bad. I love the students and it is a cool thing to be part of that, but you also have to be careful of making sure nobody gets hurt.
“I have had it where I have got bopped and hit and stuff and it is no fun, especially when you lose. That is where emotions run high and something can happen. I tried to protect Bill as best I could. Finally, I said, ‘To heck with it’ and started pushing people out of the way, which is sad.
“You want to enjoy it, but also be respectful of your opponent and make sure they get off the court safely.”
