Of Course Bomani Jones Wants To See Court Storming Banned

One thing we can always count on whenever there is a divisive topic dominating the sports world is Bomani Jones jumping on the wrong side of things. The discussion about court storming and whether it should be banned in college basketball dominating the headlines this week is no different.

Jones is on Team Ban Court Storming, which comes as no surprise at all. 

"The court storm is like the encore on steroids," Jones said on his The Right Time podcast. "No one has any leverage over the kids once they get out there. It is a full-on state of lawlessness; and you know it’s a state of lawlessness because if you looked at those clips of that game and you just saw security like, ‘Alright, y’all come down.'"

"Now, you’re not gonna tell me that security at these games thinks this is a good idea. In fact, what we’re talking about here is an anathema to their whole existence, right? Like, this is what they exist to prevent and they’re like, ‘Alright, y’all got it. Y’all come on down.’ They know this is a horrific idea."

The crowd calling for court storming to be banned, which would erase the essence of college basketball, is very much the more disruptive group. 

The folks wanting court storming to be banned are the same who like to see change simply for the sake of change and who overreact to every aspect of life.

We're certainly seeing that with the Kyle Filipowski situation as all the talking heads seem to be ignoring the multiple videos showing the Duke star pushing a court-storming fan first and then selling the contact from another fan as if he's attempting to win best-supporting actor at The Oscars.

While Jones' call for court storming to be banned from college hoops is wrong, his take is nowhere close to being the most insane out there when it comes to the situation at hand. 

That honor belongs to ESPN's Jay Bilas who suggested the way to stop court storming is to allow fans to run onto the court and then detain and arrest them to send a message.
