Nice hire by TCU.

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein
BREAKING: TCU has hired Pitt's Jamie Dixon as its next head basketball coach, sources told @CBSSports.

13 years as head coach at Pitt. Two Big East titles. 11 March Madness appearances, two of those ending in the Sweet 16 and another in the Elite 8.

Wow thats a hell of a get for TCU.

I think he will have a hard time. All his recruiting is in the northeast, TCU has no fan support, and no legacy. Hope he is up for the challenge.

wow, great hire. I've always been a big Jamie Dixon fan. Before we hired Prohm, I was hoping he would be our "secret big name" candidate

He will do great. New arena, plenty of money to support him, and in Texas. Put all the excuses you want out there but he can bring in east coast guys to play at TCU. This sucks for ISU and the rest of the Big 12.

Man, if he can get it going at TCU and OSU hires somebody competent to replace Ford, this league is going to become even more of a grind.

Yeah that is a great hire by TCU. If I was Jamie Dixon my number 1 requirement would be for TCU to change their court. It is hideous

One more strong coach in the league.

Additionally, on KC sports radio (and through a few of my K-State friends) there's been some increased chatter about KSU dumping Weber and making a push for Underwood before OSU throws money at him. Underwood going to one of those two could bring them back to life pretty quickly IMO.

If I were KSU I would dump Weber and make a serious push for Underwood if I could get some indication that he would leave SFA for KSU.

Maybe OSU will hire Gottlieb.

Man the coaching talent in this league is good. We are in for a battle to stay in the top half.
