=== Pittsburgh ===
In 13 years at Pitt, Dixon had a record of 328–123. He won 188 games in his first seven seasons, tying the NCAA Division I record for most wins in the first seven seasons of a head coaching career. Previously, Dixon's 162nd win, which came in the [[2009 NCAA men's basketball tournament|2009 NCAA tournament]] over [[Oklahoma State Cowboys men's basketball|Oklahoma State]], broke the [[NCAA Division I]] record for most victories in the first six seasons as a head coach formerly held by former [[North Carolina State]] coach [[Everett Case]].

[[File:JamieDixonBE.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Jamie Dixon coaching during the [[Big East men's basketball tournament|Big East tournament]]]]
Dixon won Big East Coach of the Year honors in 2004 for leading Pitt to a school-record 31 wins and the Big East regular season championship. He took Pitt to the final game of the [[Big East men's basketball tournament]] in 2004, 2006, 2007 and 2008, winning the 2008 Big East tournament Championship against No.1 seed Georgetown. He is Pitt's first and only head coach to guide the Panthers to seven consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and seven consecutive seasons of at least 20 overall wins and 10 league wins. In the NCAA tournament, Dixon led Pitt to the Sweet Sixteen in 2004 and 2007 and to the Elite Eight in 2009, a year that saw his Panthers earn their first-ever No.1 rankings in the [[AP poll]] and [[Coaches' Poll]], their first-ever victories over a No.1 ranked team (UConn, twice), and their first ever No.1 seed in the NCAA Tournament (East Region).<ref name="mediaguide" />

His success at Pitt continued through the 2010 season, perhaps his best coaching performance to date. The Panthers tied for second place in the Big East and earned a No.2 seed in the Big East tournament, despite being picked to finish 9th in the conference preseason poll. Dixon guided Pitt to yet another NCAA Tournament appearance, their seventh in his first seven years as head coach, and was awarded both the Big East Coach of the Year and [[Jim Phelan Award|Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year]] Awards by CollegeInsider.com.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10093/1047757-100.stm | title=Pitt's Dixon wins national coach of the year award | first=Ray | last=Fittipaldo | newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date=April 3, 2010 | access-date=April 5, 2010}}</ref> He is the first and only head coach in Pitt's history to lead his team to seven consecutive NCAA tournament appearances. At the end of the 2010 season, Dixon is the winningest coach in Big East history with a current .721 winning percentage in eight seasons of league games (98–38).  He also stands second on Pitt's all-time wins list, behind only the legendary [[Doc Carlson]].

On March 31, 2010, Pitt extended Dixon's contract by two years, through the 2017–18 season.<ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10091/1047202-142.stm | title=Pitt's Dixon gets two-year extension | last=Sanserino | first=Michael | newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date=April 1, 2010 | access-date=April 1, 2010}}</ref>

On April 2, 2010, Dixon was named the Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year by CollegeInsider.com.

On October 23, 2010, Dixon received national attention when he assisted in removing victims from a severe car accident in a Pittsburgh suburb.<ref>{{cite web | url= https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/news/story?id=5725361 | title=Jamie Dixon talks about accident | first=Andy | last=Katz | date=October 25, 2010 | work=ESPN.com | access-date=October 25, 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news | url= http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10298/1097969-175.stm | title=Pitt coach Dixon details how he helped with crash rescue | last=Fittipaldo | first=Ray | newspaper=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date=October 25, 2010 | access-date=October 25, 2010}}</ref>

On December 22, 2010, Dixon won his 200th game with a 61–46 win over [[American Eagles men's basketball|American]]. With the victory, Dixon tied the all-time NCAA Division I record held by [[Mark Few]] and [[Roy Williams (coach)|Roy Williams]] for the fastest coach to earn 200 wins by achieving the mark in only eight seasons. The achievement of winning his first 200 out of 255 games also ranked Dixon among the all-time top-15 for the quickest coaches to achieve 200 victories in regards to total number of games played.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.pittsburghpanthers.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/122210aab.html | title=Dixon Ties NCAA Division I Record for Fastest to 200 Career Wins | publisher=PittsburghPanthers.com | date=December 22, 2010 | access-date=December 23, 2010 | archive-date=March 25, 2012 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325092358/http://www.pittsburghpanthers.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/122210aab.html | url-status=dead }}</ref>

On March 2, 2011, Dixon won his 214th game with a 66–50 win over [[2010–11 South Florida Bulls men's basketball team|South Florida]]. With the victory, Dixon broke the all-time NCAA record for the most wins in a coach's first eight seasons.  Following the regular season, the Panthers received a Number 1 seed in the Southeast Region of the NCAA tournament, where the Panthers defeated 16th seed [[UNC Asheville]].  They were upset in the third round by [[Butler University]].

Outside of basketball, Dixon has been credited with a peripheral role in the Big East's [[2010–11 NCAA conference realignment#Big East Conference|decision to invite]] [[Texas Christian University|TCU]] to become the conference's 17th member.
