Juan Dixon, who left Baltimore nearly 20 years ago for College Park and went on to become one of the biggest stars in the history of the Maryland men’s basketball program, is finally coming home.
Dixon, 38, will be the next men’s coach at Coppin State. Sources familiar with the situation said Saturday that he has accepted the job.
It marks the first time Dixon, who was an all-time scorer for the Terps and Final Four Most Outstanding Player in leading Maryland to its only national championship in 2002, will run a Division I men’s program.
