Cooper Flagg’s mom, Kelly Bowman Flagg, made headlines with her exuberant celebration during Duke’s game against the University of North Carolina. The video of her shouting “On his head!” while patting her head in joy went viral on social media. Following the attention, Kelly addressed the incident on Facebook, expressing gratitude for the support and apologizing for any offense caused by her language.
In her post, Kelly explained that the celebration was a mix of pride for her son, Cooper, a standout college basketball player, and frustration towards UNC fans who she described as disrespectful.
