Juan Dixon is a legend in the city of Baltimore so it was a natural fit when Coppin State University named him as their latest head coach back on April 26.
The Eagles are coming off an 8-24 season and they haven’t been to the NCAA tournament since 2008 but the former NBA’er is looking forward to the challenges of turning around a program in his hometown of Baltimore.
Dixon’s background has been widely publicized since his days at the University of Maryland where he led the Terrapins to the 2002 National Championship and was named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four.
