Texas Coach Rodney Terry Apologizes for 'Horns Down' Criticism

Following the controversy, Terry leads the Longhorns to an upset victory over No. 9 Baylor

Texas men's basketball coach Rodney Terry has apologized for his criticism of Central Florida players who made 'Horns Down' gestures following a game.
Terry had called the actions by UCF players 'classless' and confronted several of them in the postgame line for handshakes.
The 'Horns Down' hand sign has long been used by Texas rivals, and Terry's comments were widely criticized across social media.
Terry said he had no intention of trying to offend anyone and apologized to the fan base and UCF coach Johnny Dawkins.
Following the controversy, Terry led the Longhorns to a 75-73 upset of No. 9 Baylor, improving the team's record to 13-5 overall, 2-3 in conference play.
