Agreed. Wasn't there an issue with this a couple of years ago? Rushing the court is fine, but when those fans are surrounding the opposing teams' players, things are going to get a little chippy.
 
I watched the end of that game. There was a whole line of Virginia's version of the Yellow Jacketed Nazi's between the mass of fans and the side of the court where the team benches were. But, I don't know what it was like when they left the court.
 
If the kids want to rush, that's fine. But you have to get the team off the floor, someday something is going to happen and people will say how unfortunate it was and could have been avoided. Why not be proactive?
 
so you are ok with Caple coming back on the court to curse out fans?

I can't comment on Capel because he wasn't interviewed. If he was hit with something that was thrown or physically violated, then no. If someone just yelled at him from the stands then I do have a problem with it.

Context is often lost in these scenarios...you just lost a road game in a hostile environment, chance at winning the ACC, you're frustrated, a wave of college aged people comes running at you. Things are said, contact is made as you weave off the floor. Whether it is intentional or not, pretty easy to see how you could lose your cool.
 
ACC to review court storming.

This is the fourth time this year for Duke...that is ridiculous.

If people were throwing things at him, he should have gone for cover rather than confront them. It doesn't make a lot of sense to yell at someone as others are pelting you with things that could harm you.
 
Can't blame a coach for protecting his players but a coach should no better the to start this. Duke may not rush the court that often at home, but teams that are not the traditional powers need to be able to have there fun. If you stop allowing rushing the floor or trying to control it to much, you will end up with less students in the audience. And we all know attendance overall is down.

And coaches cussing out fans is funny. They get paid alot of money and know that this may occur. Be prepaired for it Duke!!!!!

Why is it ridiculous. When you have been good for a long time and are highly ranked but lose, fans are going to celebrate.

What did I not read? From my understanding of this article and others, Coach K brought the subject up to media after the game complaining that fans were rushing the court and around his players. Some fans may have gotten out of line. Again I understand protecting his players, but he is paid alot of money to keep cool and to be prepaired for this situation. Like it was mentioned, this was the 4th time this year this has happened. Cussing at fans is not keeping his cool. The same goes for Capel.

From the article
"Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, angry over what he perceived as a lack of crowd control while his Blue Devils tried to leave the court following Thursday’s loss at Virginia, traded F-bombs with at least one fan and had to be restrained by security before being ushered into his locker room.

Try again

.

“Whatever you’re doing, you need to get the team off first,” Krzyzewski said about 15 minutes later in the postgame news conference. “Look, celebrate, have fun, obviously you won, that’s cool. Just get our team off the court, and our coaching staff, before the students come on.

Your post made it sound like duke wants rushing the court to be against the rules or something.

Coach K said himself that he doesn't mind that they rushed the court
