TCU announces extension for head men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon
Following a successful season for TCU that saw the Horned Frogs advance to the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament, the school has given head men’s basketball coach Jamie Dixon a contract extension. The new deal will keep Dixon under contract through the 2027-2028 season.
Dixon took the TCU head coaching position ahead of the 2016-2017 season. He immediately led the Horned Frogs to a championship in the NIT Tournament, going 24-15 overall. TCU then returned to the NCAA Tournament in the following year, losing in the opening round. The Horned Frogs went back to the NIT in 2018-2019, this time losing in the semifinals.
After a two-year postseason absence, TCU returned to the big dance this season. The Horned Frogs made the NCAA Tournament this year as a No. 9 seed, and defeated eighth-seeded Seton Hall 69-42 in the opening round. TCU then played well against No. 1 seed Arizona, but ultimately fell 85-80.
Overall, Dixon is 117-84 as TCU’s head coach. The Horned Frogs are 42-64 during Big 12 play during his tenure. Dixon previously spent many years at Pittsburgh’s head coach before coming to TCU. There, he compiled a 328-123 record, giving him a career coaching record of 445-207.
