Coach Dixon shares his journey from growing up in a small town in North Carolina to being one of the most respected Assistant Coaches in the country. He transferred a few times during college and graduated from UNC Wilmington, and eventually landed an AC position at Belmont Abbey before spending two years at Queens University in Charlotte. From Queens he joined the coaching staff at Stetson for a couple years before he joined Billy Donovan\'s coaching staff at Florida and spent two years in Gainesville. After Florida he coached at three different D1 programs in Louisiana in five years before joining the Wyoming coaching staff for a year. For four seasons he would serve as UNC Charlotte\'s men\'s and women\'s Technology and Scouting Assistant. Coach Dixon went to Lenoir-Rhyne along with Ryan Odom and helped lead them to the Quarterfinals of the NCAA D2 National Tournament in their lone season in Hickory, NC - he also talks about how great the coaching is in the Southern Athletic Conference. After moving on to UMBC with Coach Odom they have been able to sustain success and obviously made history as the first #16 seed to knock off the top seeded University of Virginia in the NCAA Tournament back in 2018. Coach Dixon has been very active with the NABC and gives GREAT advice for all coaches!
