All hopes, prayers and best wishes to the Dixon family.

Army women’s basketball coach Maggie Dixon, who led the Black Knights to their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth last month in her first season, suffered an arrhythmia heart episode Wednesday at West Point, N.Y., and is in critical condition at the Westchester Medical Center, her brother Pittsburgh men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon said Thursday.

In a statement that Dixon read to ESPN.com from the hospital, he said:

“Maggie and I had breakfast [Wednesday] and then she had a meeting with West Point athletic director Kevin Anderson. She then went to her house to meet friends for afternoon tea and said she wasn’t feeling well and collapsed.

“She was immediately taken to Keller Army Hospital and then transferred to Westchester Medical Center where she is presently in critical condition. She’s in the intensive care unit.

“Her mom, dad and sister Julie are here with her, too. Members of the Army women’s basketball team were with her [Wednesday] morning.

“At this point there’s no indication what caused the arrhythmia episode because by all accounts she was feeling well earlier in the day.

“Her family thanks everyone for their support and prayers and asks for continued respect and privacy.”
