Apparently the UCLA Coaching search has come down to two people, Cincinnati Coach Mick Cronin and TCU’s Jamie Dixon. It seems likely Jamie Dixon is the winner. From Twitter:
There is a lot to say about Dixon who recently got knocked out of the NIT in the Semifinals. From the Star Telegram:
Dixon grew up in the LA area, too, and acknowledged earlier this season that UCLA is the birthplace of basketball as far as his upbringing.
For UCLA, Dixon is attractive given his knack for turning around programs in difficult situations.
