Kansas men's basketball coach Bill Self was pinned against the scorer's table when Kansas State fans rushed the court following the Wildcats' 70-63 upset of the eighth-ranked Jayhawks.
Self was shaking hands with Kansas State coach Bruce Weber when both coaches found themselves trapped against the scorer's table by the mob of fans that stormed the court. Ultimately, Self was OK, but it took some time to get him out of there.
In the postgame press conference, Self was more upset about the fans running into his players, such as this bonehead Kansas State fan who deliberately bump Kansas forward Jamari Traylor as he ran onto the court:
We're not necessarily against fans rushing the court, as long as it can be done safely. A little extra security probably could have helped keep things a bit more under control. Considering that Kansas State was leading for the final eight minutes of the game, they probably had a little time to put a plan in place.
