Dixon Named Coach of the Year

University of Pittsburgh Coach Jamie Dixon has been named the Naismith men's coach of the year after leading the Panthers to a school-record 31 wins and the NCAA tournament regional finals.

The sixth-year head coach also guided Pitt to its first-ever top seed in the tournament and the school's first No. 1 ranking in the AP Top 25.

The Panthers fell short of the Final Four after a loss to Villanova on a last-second layup by Scottie Reynolds.
