Coach Jamie Dixon is in Ft. Worth, Texas today, to be formally inducted into the TCU Hall of Fame.
The group will be inducted tonight during a ceremony at the Kelly Alumni Center. Dixon will be accompanied by his wife and two children, who will be visiting Fort Worth for the first time.
They’ll catch their first glimpse of the place where Dixon’s life in college basketball started.
“I was very excited when I got the phone call from Donny Ray,” Dixon said Tuesday from his office in Pittsburgh. “I was excited and honored, and it also made me think back to the days way back when.”
Dixon’s old head coach at TCU passed away this past year. Dixon will also be honored at halftime of the SMU-TCU game on Saturday. Mildly surprising that he has never taken his family to see his alma mater.
Maybe while down there he can bolster some connections to begin to create some in-roads to TX recruiting.
