Jackson State University today announced Surina Dixon as its new head women’s basketball coach.
An alumnus of Mississippi Valley State and tenured coach with stops at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and Lane, Dixon made headlines last fall when she won a $730,000 federal gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against Texas Southern, which fired her in 2008.
Dixon’s career college coaching record is 57-114.
