Dixon out at TSU

This coaching tenure sure was short...

HOUSTON, TX -- Texas Southern Athletics Director Charles McClelland announced today that a breakdown in negotiations with Surina Dixon led to changes in the women’s basketball program.

“Based upon the inability to agree upon a contract, we have decided to move in a different direction,” says McClelland.

Coach Dixon came to Texas Southern in March to replace former head coach Claude Cummings.

A national search for a new women basketball head coach will begin immediately.


Two months ago, The HRR reported news that Cynthia Cooper would be named TSU's head coach of women's basketball. Then, a few days later, The HRR reported Cooper would not be named TSU's head coach.


Though a "national search" will be conducted, one can assume Cynthia Cooper is the front runner to become the next head coach of Texas Southern's women's basketball program.

    This is crazy, if Charles is so good than go find other coaches. Why does he have to get every one from PV. Charles needs to work his "magic" on getting other good coaches!!!
