Yeah. I thought he signed that extension recently. It even said he signed it Wednesday. Didn't know how we were so confident that we would sign him

Did Dixon fly back to Pitt immediately after and go to the Penguins game, or what?



That's what I was thinking.


I am jusr asking. It would be very easy to do. Atlanta to Pittsburgh can't be more than a 2.5 hour flight.

I think it's just under 2 hours. Been a few years, though.

I know, but the question is if they met earlier today or if they met about 45 mins ago.

Well they didn't meet 45 minutes ago because Dixon was on ESPN at that point.

Via telephone. He could have been anywhere.

Perhaps, but he is at the Flyers-Penguins game in Pittsburgh.

Based on the current market for college basketball coaches, Dixon deserves more money whether he stays or goes elsewhere. I was surprised that someone with his credentials - coach of the year, National Under 19 team coach, etc. - was not paid more than he is.

If it's a ploy for more money, wouldn't he have gotten it from the threat of the TCU coaching search? They paid Trent 2.3 million.

It doesn't make any sense. He doesn't need a ploy for more money. He already could have accomplished that.

Tell your friend he is wrong.

Tell your friend WE'RE GETTING DIXON WHETHER HE LIKES IT OR NOT!

If Dixon did in fact meet with LSU, Pitt should be extremely worried. The motive for money won't fly with the TCU angle.
