Texas State beat the University of Louisiana Monroe on Friday 58-49 to win their first Sun Belt conference championship in two decades.
This was a huge moment for the team. Not only because it was their first conference title in so long, but also because it came with an interim head coach at the helm.
Terrence Johnson took over for the team after longtime head coach Danny Kaspar resigned in September after being under investigation by the university for allegations of making racists remarks to his athletes.
Johnson took over and led his team to their best season in two decades. But, unfortunately, because of COVID-19 protocols, he couldn’t be there for the biggest moment of their season so far when they clinched the title.
That didn’t stop him from celebrating with his squad, though.
He couldn’t celebrate with his team in the locker room. So, instead, he just pulled up to the gym and did it from his car. He beeped the horn as his team crowded the car in celebration.

So he drove to the gym. And the team found him. This is awesome.
