Congrats to Coach Jamie Dixon.
University of Pittsburgh men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon has been named one of five 2007 inductees into the TCU Athletic Hall of Fame. Dixon will be formally honored on Thursday, Sept. 20 prior to TCU’s Homecoming football game against SMU. A four-year basketball letterman at TCU from 1984-87, Dixon is best remembered for his half-court shot at the buzzer to defeat Texas, 55-54, in a February 1986 game. In addition, he helped the Horned Frogs post back-to-back league championships (1986, 1987) and reach the second round of the 1987 NCAA Tournament. As a senior, Dixon led the Southwest Conference in assists per game (5.4 apg.) and earned both All-SWC and academic all-conference honors. He was drafted by the Washington Bullets and played professionally in the Continental Basketball Association.
Coach Dixon was previously awarded a Frog O’Fame Award from TCU back in 2005.
