As TCU Basketball prepares to play in their second NIT semi final in the last three seasons, rumors continue to swirl about the future of their head coach. Jamie Dixon, in his third year leading his alma mater, has apparently emerged as a “top candidate” at UCLA to replace Steve Alford, who was let go mid season. The Bruins have apparently set their sights on Dixon and Cincinnati’s Mick Cronin as they look to fill their empty role - a job they hope to have locked down by next week.
According to Ben Bolch of the LA Times, UCLA officials have “zeroed in” on Dixon and Cronin after striking out with more heralded options over the last few days.
