It appeared Jamie Dixon's time when he was coming back to California, where he grew up and where his parents still reside, was imminent.

TCU Chancellor Victor Boschini said that he was staying.

"None of this matters because he's staying," TCU Chancellor Victor Boschini said. "He came over to my house last night around 6:30. I'm glad he's coming back. "

Dixon's contract with TCU reportedly has an $ 8 million buyout. It was reported that UCLA from matching.

Boschini said he would not divulge the exact dialogue of their conversation.

"I do not want to speak for him, but he's staying which is good," he said.

Boschini said he took Dixon's reaffirmation as TCU's men's basketball as a commitment to the rest of his coaching career.

"My interpretation of our conversation is that he [Dixon] plans to stay with us through the entirety of our career and that we do not worry about something like this again. "

Dixon has yet to comment.

"I do not like to talk about other jobs," Dixon said in the post-game press conference after the team lost in the semi-final NIT to the University of Texas.

He joins head coach coach Gary Patterson (19 seasons) and head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle (in the midst of his 16th season) as coaches who seem likely to remain in the future.

Dixon is 68-41 at TCU in his three seasons in Fort Worth. He led the Horned Frogs to their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 20 years last season. He ended his first and third years at TCU at Madison Square Garden in the NIT Final Four. TCU won the NIT to conclude the 2016-2017 season.

"It's a big deal," Boschini said. "I think it's wonderful for TCU, but who I really think it's great for our students and our students on the team."

TCU Athletics Director The Jeremiah Donati has yet to respond to a message for comment.
