Jamie Dixon Head Quotations

Barry has been very important to our success over the years. Whether it was a director of basketball operations or as our associate head coach, he was a vital part to our program's rise to elite status in the Big East and nationally.

I want guys who want to be head coaches. To be a good head coach you have to be a good assistant first. I want our guys looking at head coaching jobs and preparing to be head coaches because that makes them good assistant coaches.

It's hard to say you played good defense when somebody scores 37 points, but I thought we did. I'm sure I'll see that guy scoring in my head the rest of the night. The guy made some unbelievable shots.

If you remember, Aaron wasn't highly recruited. Look at him now. He's better than a lot of the players recruited ahead of him.

It's my desire to have assistants who aspire to be head coaches. I know that's been the goal for Barry and Joe, and that's why I'm so excited about their opportunities. Both have made invaluable contributions to our program. The University of Pittsburgh is very indebted to them.
