Report: Dixon out as UCLA candidate, expected to say at TCU

Multiple reports have come out Friday evening confirming that TCU Basketball coach Jamie Dixon is staying in Fort Worth.

According to Ben Bolch of the LA Times, Jamie Dixon is no longer a candidate to replace the fired Steve Alford as head basketball coach at UCLA. Bolch reported Friday afternoon that:

“Dixon’s $8-million buyout at Texas Christian became an insurmountable sticking point for both sides, according to multiple people close to the situation, with the Horned Frogs unwilling to lower the amount and the Bruins unwilling to pay it even after identifying Dixon as their top candidate as part of a lengthy search.
