Jamie Dixon and the TCU basketball team were on a chartered plane to New York City when news broke that the chosen son head coach of the Horned Frogs basketball team was in discussions with UCLA.
Sources said that did not sit well with university administrators, some of whom were across the aisle from the players and coaching staff on a plane that was headed for the NIT semifinals.
Sources said that had Dixon approached TCU officials first about his desire to potentially accept the same position at UCLA that the school would have likely worked with the coach to make that deal happen.
