TCU Center Eddie Lampkin's Mom Accuses Jamie Dixon of Making 'Racial Remarks'

TCU men's basketball head coach Jamie Dixon has been accused of making "racial remarks" by the mother of Horned Frogs center Eddie Lampkin, who stepped away from the team prior to the Big 12 Tournament.

Lampkin took to Instagram and posted screenshots of text message exchanges between Dixon and his mother, Vanessa Lampkin.

"Coach Dixon we did not talk yesterday and no one has told you from our end that Eddie is entering the transfer portal. We discussing your behavior towards him. I do not appreciate the way you and everyone at TCU is making it about the transfer portal and not abut the real reason he is not there with the team he loves," she wrote, per Steven Johnson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (h/t 247Sports' Robbie Weinstein).
