'Biggest Hypocrite' - Texas Head Coach Getting Crushed For Behavior After Latest Win
01/25/2025 06:36 PM
The transition from coaching Texas in the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference hasn't come quite as easy for head basketball coach Rodney Terry as it has for head football coach Steve Sarkisian.
Texas' preseason No. 19 ranking was quickly snuffed out by Ohio State in a season-opening loss and they have not been back in the top 25 rankings since. But after an 11-2 start, things got downright catastrophic to start Texas' first season playing SEC college hoops.
The Longhorns lost three straight and four of their first five games against their SEC foes as they lost to the likes of Texas A&M, Auburn, Tennessee and Florida. But after beating Missouri earlier this week, Texas got their first signature win of the season by beating Texas A&M at the Moody Center in Austin.
But after winning the game 70-69, Terry celebrated by sticking out his tongue and using the "Horns Up" hand gesture.
Same dude who was bitching and moaning about horns down being classless during a postgame handshake line is now tongue out and screaming LFG before leaving the line and yelling to the crowd?

College sports fans immediately called out Terry for his behavior after previously complaining to the media about teams "winning the right way" and celebrating with the "Horns Down" gesture.
"Rodney Terry cried when a team did horns down to them saying they needed to win with class. Today that same coach is sticking out his tongue at A&M players as he goes through handshake line. Too funny!" one user wrote on X.
"Yup, Rodney Terry is a cry baby, and he sucks at coaching, has to show his ass when he wins against ranked teams, because it doesn't happen often," wrote another.
"Rodney Terry is the biggest hypocrite in college basketball," a third remarked, sharing a video of Terry previously decrying the user of "Horns Down."

At 14-6 on the season and just 2-4 in the SEC, Texas has a lot of work to do to get into the good graces of the NCAA Tournament selection committee. His team was at 14-6 this time last season, but managed to sneak in with a 20-12 record before knocking off Colorado State in the Round of 64. His team lost to Tennessee in the Round of 32.
Can Terry lead the Longhorns back to the NCAA Tournament now that he's in the SEC?
