Jamie Dixon continues to prove his worth at TCU with NCAA Tournament win over Ohio State

And aside from wins in March, just getting there is an accomplishment in and of itself for TCU. Dixon has led TCU to the NCAA Tournament five times in 10 seasons. 

Before taking over his alma mater, Dixon led the Pitt Panthers to the NCAA Tournament 11 times in 13 seasons. Those 11 appearances are a significant portion of Pitt's 27 overall.

Pitt hasn't been the same since Jamie Dixon left 

Of course, Pitt fans eventually grew frustrated with the Dixon era since his teams reached the Sweet 16 three times out of those 11 appearances and only one Elite Eight in 2009.

But those Pitt fans would probably trade the Dixon era for what's happened since. Since Dixon's departure after the 2015-16 season, Pitt has only reached the NCAA Tournament once under Kevin Stallings and Jeff Capel, and that team even had to go through the First Four before getting into the true field.

While Dixon's career has been far from perfect and is without a couple of benchmarks usually reserved for legendary coaches (Final Four, national title), he does have 526 regular-season wins, has guided 16 teams to the NCAA Tournament, won a Big East Tournament title (2008, Pitt) when the conference was at its peak and a NIT title (2017, TCU).

Factoring in what Dixon has achieved at schools like TCU and Pitt, he has a resume that compares him to the likes of John Chaney and Gene Keady as far as the greatest coaches ever without a Final Four.
