Chris Dixon comes to UNF after spending four seasons as an assistant coach at Palm Beach Atlantic from 2020-24.
In his first season as an assistant coach at UNF, he helped develop Jasmynne Gibson into an ASUN All-Freshman Team honoree, as well as an ASUN Freshman of the Week selection early in the season. He was also vital to the team's success in the classroom with 14 selections to the ASUN Academic Honor Roll and Kaila Rougier's CSC Academic All-District Team distinction.
Dixon was a part of Palm Beach Atlantic's best season in program history with a 15-14 overall record in 2023-24. He also elevated his student-athletes to four SSC All-Conference distinctions, five CSC/CoSIDA Academic All-District selections and nine weekly conference honorees.
In 2022-23, he assisted the Sailfish into double-digit wins for the first time since 2015-16 and the first time since joining the Sunshine State Conference. In his first season as an assistant with PBA, Dixon helped the team make it to the SSC Tournament for the first time in program history, as well as a championship game appearance, during the 2020-21 COVID-shortened season.
Before his time in West Palm Beach, Fla., Dixon had previous stops at Francis Marion, Georgia State and Armstrong State's women's basketball programs, as each were over the course of one season. He served as an assistant coach & recruiting coordinator for Francis Marion, volunteered as a player development coach for Georgia State and was also a student coach with his alma mater of Armstrong State.
Dixon attended Armstrong State University, graduating in 2015 with a Bachelor's of Health Science with an emphasis in Human Performance Management. He and his wife, Briana, have two children, Ariana and Chris Jr.
