HOUSTON (CBSDFW.COM) – A player on the Houston Cougars men’s basketball team is being lauded for action he took after his team suffered a controversial road loss on Saturday, Dec. 11 at Alabama.
The Cougars loste 83-82 after referees didn’t call goaltending when a putback attempt was swatted away, KTRK in Houston reported.
UH head coach Kelvin Sampson wanted a goaltending call that would have given Houston its ninth win of the season.
As the Houston players and staff left the court upset, a Houston assistant is seen destroying a chair and kicking over another as he leaves the court in, a Twitter post AustinRader24.
Houston senior Reggie Chaney, is also seen swatting a garbage can and toppling over trash on the floor as he heads to the locker room.
Stay classy, Houston
