One thing that I have noticed about Dixon over the years is that he comes across as very insencere when ever talking about the other teams and coaches. Almost seems like he is pretending to give them credit then he will dive into what Pitt should have done and it seems like he feels that is the real reason they lost. I also don't get the sense that he is well liked by BE coaches.
It will be very interesting to see what happens to Pitt in the next few years and how Dixon hanldles it. They get a couple good freshman coming in next year but he just ran off the highest rated recruit that he bever brought in and has a poor history of really getting his freshman involved. Pitt very well could be about the same team talent and skill wise next season as they are this season. Then it will be off to the ACC where they are more than likely going to have to adjust their style of play drastically. No league calls more hand checking and grabing on the perimeter than the ACC. Seems he will need to recruit betterto play the ACC style and stay near the top of that conference.
I haven't seen much to indicate that he has adjusted his style this year or much over the course of his career other than the 2-3 he has put in and used a bit over the last 3 years. It will be something to keep an eye on moving forward especially in the next 3 years. Is he willing to adjust? Can he adjust? Will he be able to recruit better basketball players to fit the less ruged ACC style?
