Nate Dixon and Utah State head coach Ryan Odom have coached together in three previous stops.
“I’ve been all over the country, but the Mountain West is my favorite league in all of college basketball,” Dixon said. “There’s nothing like that college-town feel, the support of passionate fan bases and community involvement. Utah State checks all those boxes and I couldn’t be happier to continue working with Coach Odom and be a part of his staff. My family and I are looking forward to building upon the winning culture that we’ve got here in Logan.”
Dixon was the lead assistant coach under Odom for five seasons at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
