When Coach K. speaks
In the late 70’s and early 80’s the investment group E.F. Hutton ran a series of television commercials. The tag line of the commercial; “when E.F. Hutton speaks people listen.” We might say that statement could be applied to Coach K, he‘s raised the issue and it‘s become a topic of conversation. I’m unsure when it first began however colleges’ students have been rushing the floor for a long period of time. According to Dan Patrick a number of schools have hard-fast rules prohibiting fans from rushing the court. Earlier this year a student in a wheelchair was almost trampled, a player saw that he’d been displaced from his wheelchair and rush to his aid.

How about the recent Iowa State-Kansas game, a police officer prevented an Iowa State fan from attacking Kansas Coach Self. Patrick went on to point out former Duke player J.J. Reddick was a lighting rod, opposing fans hated the guy. Patrick stated what if a fan had come onto the court and slugged Reddick and the player retaliated he could have faced possible legal issues. This is a non-issue in the NBA, the explanation---jail and fines. The 2004 “Malice in the Palace” began with a player fight on the floor; a few Piston fans came out of the stands and participated in the melee. The fans were arrested and in one instance one of the participants received a lifetime ban from attending Pistons games. We have no idea if the ban is still in place however that was the initial judgment.

What happens now?
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson is a man of his word; he announced earlier a potential Kings purchaser would be announced prior to the March 1st deadline.  The individuals plan on building a new arena too.  Of course this causes a number of potential conflicts.  Will the NBA dissaprove the teams' sale to the Hansen group?  Can the Maloof brother be "forced" to sell the team to a local group to remain in Sacramento?  Coud we even begin to speculate on the number of potential lawsuits involving both parties? 

What if they are tied?
This is gonna hurt for a number of Kansas State fans, currently a two way tie exist for first place in the Big XII Conference. Kansas and Kansas State are tied, it the season should conclude in a tie I’m sure State fans will be happy.  If I were a K-State fan I wouldn't get crazy happy, Kansas State lost both games against its Lawrence Kansas neighbor.
