Scheyer claps back at DA over court-storming tiff

Duke coach Jon Scheyer has responded to claims made by a local District Attorney regarding an incident that occurred during a recent court storming at the University of North Carolina (UNC). Scheyer stated that he had staff members who were "punched in the face" as UNC fans celebrated a last-second victory over Duke. This incident took place after a thrilling game where North Carolina stunned Duke with a late winning shot, prompting fans to rush the court in celebration. In his remarks, Scheyer expressed that he "could have said even more" in response to the DA's assertion that there was "zero evidence" to support his claims about the physical altercations involving his staff. The DA's comments seem to challenge the validity of Scheyer's statements regarding the violence that occurred during the court storming. Despite the DA's claims, Scheyer has maintained that his staff members were indeed harmed during the incident. Reports from various sources, including ESPN and Bleacher Report, corroborate Scheyer's assertion that his staff members faced physical aggression from fans during the court storming. Additionally, Scheyer mentioned that one of the staff members who was punched is "doing better," indicating that there were no severe injuries reported following the incident. The situation has drawn attention due to the rivalry between Duke and UNC, highlighting the intense emotions that can accompany such high-stakes games.
