TCU men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon is a leading candidate to take over at UCLA, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
Dixon refused to talk about any UCLA speculation during a media availability for the NIT semifinals on Monday at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square.
“I don’t talk about rumors, speculation ... no part of it,” Dixon said. “I don’t think it’s good for anyone involved. I stay consistent.”
It’s unknown if Dixon has interviewed for the position at this time. He is a North Hollywood native who grew up in UCLA’s backyard, and would make sense given his track record of success.
