Jamie Dixon is the New Basketball Coach at TCU

Dixon is leaving Pitt to come home to his Alma Mater., and he is bringing a bad memory for Texas Basketball fans with him.

The last time TCU won a basketball game in the NCAA Tournament (1987) one of their guards was Jamie Dixon. Monday Dixon decided to leave Pitt and return to try and win the the next one for the Horned Frogs as their head coach.

Dixon has been the head coach at Pittsburgh for 13 years, and took the Panthers to the NCAA's 11 times. He has won 20 or more games 12 times at the school, but Pitt hasn't been to the Sweet 16 since 2009.
