And So That Is That

Jamie Dixon is happy in Pittsburgh.
But that doesn't mean he hasn't had at least one inquiry this spring.
Multiple sources told ESPN.com that Cal made an attempt to hire Dixon within 24 hours of firing Ben Braun. Dixon told the Bears he wanted to stay at Pitt.
Arizona State also tried to hire Dixon before Herb Sendek took the job in the spring of 2006.
There is a perception that Dixon wants to move back to the West Coast because he is from Santa Barbara and his wife is from Hawaii. In truth, he is not looking to get back there as his family thoroughly enjoys living in Pittsburgh.
Dixon is 132-40 in five seasons at Pittsburgh. The Panthers have reached the NCAA tournament in each season, going to the Sweet 16 in 2004 and 2007.
