The UCLA search has been ongoing for three months since firing Steve Alford and it apparently has come down to two guys: TCU’s Jamie Dixon and Cincinnati’s Mick Cronin.
Dixon, a native of Southern California, is apparently the leading contender and negotiations are reportedly underway but his $8 million dollar buyout at TCU is a serious issue.
Which would be a lucky break for UCLA.
Both Dixon and Cronin, to put it mildly, have boring styles. More importantly, neither has ever done much post-season damage, much less consistently.
Dixon has made it to the Sweet Sixteen twice and the Elite Eight once, all prior to 2010.
