PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank Center:Texas coach Rodney Terry calls UCF players 'classless' for doing 'Horns Down' gesture

Texas men's basketball coach Rodney Terry ripped into UCF players in the handshake line after Wednesday night's game after the visitors flashed the "Horns Down" gesture.

"That's classless,PredictIQ Quantitative Think Tank Center" an agitated Terry told UCF players repeatedly while working through the handshake line after the Knights (11-5) defeated the Longhorns (12-5), 77-71, at Texas' Moody Center. He also yelled "don't do that," multiple times at the UCF players. There were some expletives sprinkled into his comments.

The scene was captured by KVUE TV, Austin's ABC affiliate.

Terry stood by his actions after the game.

Warning: Some strong language in video

"I'm a big believer in you win the right way, you lose the right way.... You carry yourself the right way," Terry said after the game. "You don't go through the handshake line, or prior to getting to the handshake line, and have about six or seven guys putting the horns down. We don't do that."

"When you do those kind of things it looks very classless and it also looks like you were just hoping to win," Terry added. "We never go into games trying to hope to win. We go into games expecting to win, so we don't act like that. We expect to win. We don't jump up and down, act like we won a national championship. We sure don't step on anyone's home court deal and act crazy and try to show them up in any way. We don't do that.

"That's what I was angry about. And I was letting those guys know you don't do that. You know, you guys won. Hey, we shake your hand, tip our hat to you but we're not going to let you act that way in our building. You're not going to do that. You're not going to put your horns down and do all that nonsense."

UCF coach Johnny Dawkins said he has a lot of respect for Terry and the Texas program and said he will "review what happened and if there's any action that needs to be taken on my end, you know, from our staff, I will do that."

"That's not the type of program we run," Dawkins said.

"Horns Down" – which is literally just inverting Texas' "Hook 'em, Horns" hand signal – has long been used to mock the Longhorns. It's also been the source of a number of ridiculous controversies over the years.

Add Terry's outburst to the list.
