Jamie Dixon tests positive for Covid

[PittPoker]

From his twitter account last night:

"Following our team-wide testing, I was notified that I had tested positive for COVID-19. I have begun self-isolation and look forward to continuing our season soon."

Wishing him a speedy recovery!!

We miss you Jamie.

Probably my favorite Pittsburgh coach so far in my lifetime. Up there with Leyland. Get well soon, Jamie, even if you did leave the cupboards as bare as the insides of a house the Wet Bandits just picked off.

To resurrect an old discussion--it wasn't that bare, IMO. It could have been salvaged --if any kind of halfway-adequate point guard was brought in immediately and the coach who was hired was one with the charisma to have done tht plus kept Cam Johnson. IMHO, had that occurred, Dixon's departure could have resulted in merely a hiccup vs the collapse that occurred by Barnes terrible hire. Just my opinion, however.

That team had terrible senior leadership. I posted in past about them and their behavior off the court so there isn't a reason to repost but that team had more issues beyond needing a point guard.

Eh, there was nothing on deck. Kithcart, Wilson, Manigault, Clark (pre-injury), Nix... I mean, are you kidding me? That's a terrible foundation.

The team was set up to have one good year at best and then take a complete nosedive. Good luck finding anyone who was going to keep Cam and Luther home. They knew what Pitt had after Young and Artis left. And if you're going to criticize Stallings for not magically bringing in a point guard, you could pretty much do the same with Capel not being able to find a big man who could come in and contribute early in his tenure... apparently it's a task that is easier said than done.

We miss you Jamie.

No, we don't miss you at all

Here we go. I’m sure this thread will be littered with fresh takes and new info.

Let. It. Go.

I'm blaming Barnes for this, too.

While watching parts of a few TCU games this year, I didn’t see Jamie wear his mask for more than 1 second on the bench.

Me either. He didn’t even go thru the pretense of carrying one.

That senior leadership went from bad to terrible after Jamie left. I remember Harve sending me messages about stories of what was going on behind closed doors (he said he had an inside source). Just goes to show how a few bad attitudes can poison the locker room. That, and botching the coaching hire.

The difference, of course, being that one of those guys tried to bring the needed player in and failed, and the other couldn't even be bothered to try.

Plz Shut up! I wish him a speedy recovery. Lots of trolls on here and typical.

Neither you nor I have any clue if that's true. It's a nice narrative for the fans, though.

Some people have a clue as to whether that's true or not. I get that you might not be one of them.

Lol. I forgot you're always the smartest guy in the room. Yeah - a college basketball coach making $2.5M/year just said, "Screw it; I don't need a point guard." Lololol.

Well you seem to forget that the majority of the people posting on this board didn't think we needed one either.

Oddly enough, you don't see many of them fessing up to that.

I wish him a speedy recovery too, but I'm glad he's gone,, and besides, troll this

Come on. That’s a cop out. Jaime was and is done.

However, you can still feel that way like me, yet Iove him for the good times he brought our way. We’ll likely never be back to his level.

Jaime, Jamie, love him either way.😊
