Bball player paralyzed
A Tucson High School basketball player has been left partially paralyzed after being tackled by fans celebrating his game-ending dunk Friday night.
Joe Kay, a senior and starting forward, capped Tucson's 62-54 victory over Tucson Salpointe Catholic with an exclamation slam. A group of fans overtook him after flooding the court, coaches who reviewed film of the game told the Republic. Kay suffered a fractured jaw and a torn carotid artery -- the carotid supplies blood to the brain -- and subsequently suffered a stroke, according to the newspaper's report

Can you prevent people from storming the court after a game?
Should they prevent this?
I think we've been lucky that this hasn't happened sooner. I understand that the fans get excited, especially if it's a huge upset--but should there be harsher punishment for those who charge the court???
