On the phone with Will Privette (wheelchair kid). He says he is OK, but his wheelchair is a "little broken."

Privette said the decision to rush (roll) the court was the "dumbest thing I've done in college, but so worth it."

Privette said as his wheelchair flipped, his glasses flew off and he dropped his phone (he was recording the moment).

Privette said CJ Leslie told everyone to get back and then picked him up..."he held me for about 2 minutes while everyone celebrated."

Privette reiterated that "it was all worth it" despite the flip and his wheelchair being broken.
