Kansas coach Bill Self shares his perspective on court-storming in college basketball
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self previews Big 12 game against BYU
Check out what Kansas basketball coach Bill Self had to say Monday ahead of the Jayhawks’ game Tuesday against Big 12 Conference-foe BYU.
LAWRENCE — As Nicolas Timberlake reflected Monday on his recruitment by Kansas basketball, the prospect of fans storming the court after road losses wasn’t something that came up.
Timberlake, a graduate senior guard who transferred in from Towson, explained Jayhawks coach Bill Self didn’t talk about losing. The pitch to come to KU didn’t include a line like, “Hey, when we lose on the road they’re going to storm the court on us.” And one wouldn’t necessarily expect it to, given the success Kansas has had during Self’s tenure in Lawrence — especially in recent seasons.
But while Self might not make it a priority to discuss court storming protocol with recruits, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have an opinion on it. Because of the stature the Jayhawks have as a program, when losses on the road occur it’s not uncommon for a court storming to follow — something that has played out multiple times this season. And when he was asked Monday about what he thought about it all, as the topic has become widely discussed in recent days, he certainly wasn’t in favor of fans just being able to do whatever they want in situations like that.

“We’ve actually gotten better at it because of the way you can prep your team in certain ways,” Self said, “and a lot of the safety measures up until recently I think has been with the visiting team educating their own players how to handle it — and I mean like, calling a timeout with 15 seconds left and it’s a 10-point game just to get guys out of the game or whatever, or tell them, ‘OK, don’t go out there. Everybody stand next to the sideline.’ Those things happen, but even with that, that should not be the responsibility of the visiting team to educate their guys. I don’t like it.”
Self continued: “I wish they would — legal? Outlaw? But I would think the leagues could certainly put stiff enough penalties down on places that do that would certainly deter those things from ever happening — at least in my standpoint.”
As Self would go on to highlight, the reason fans storming the court after a game has become so widely discussed again was because of what happened after Wake Forest captured an upset win at home against Duke. As fans made their way across the court during the celebration, there was a collision between a fan and a Duke player that led to injury concerns. Many across the sports landscape have since shared their thoughts on what should happen next, with opinions varying substantially.
Self thought what happened at Wake Forest was one of the quickest court storming events he’s ever seen, and mused that if the proper security isn’t in place it’s hard to imagine there wouldn’t be contact between fans and visiting players. It’s hard to imagine, too, that injury or legal ramifications wouldn’t have the potential to follow. So, understanding Self feels things have gotten out of control at this point, he would hope that it could all just be totally done away with.

Bryant’s commentary was a common thread in the national narrative after BYU’s first trip up of the year.
Bryant finished the game with three tackles in the win. The senior cornerback is one of the top defensive backs in the Big 12.
Last year against BYU in Lawrence, Bryant had a forced fumble that he scooped and scored, plus an interception. He finishes his college career against BYU with a 2-0 record.
BYU will look to get back in the win column this week when it travels to Tempe to face nationally-ranked Arizona State. Bryant and Kansas welcome red-hot Colorado to Lawrence.
