Pittsburgh basketball Coach Jamie Dixon is returning to the Southland Saturday to be honored by his alma mater, Sherman Oaks Notre Dame, at the school’s annual Knights of Honor dinner-auction gala at the Universal Sheraton.
Dixon, a 1983 Notre Dame graduate, will be honored with his sister, Maggie, a 1995 Notre Dame graduate who was the women's coach at Army in 2006 when she died from heart arrhythmia.
UCLA Coach Ben Howland, a close family friend, will introduce Dixon. Jimmy Kimmel is the master of ceremonies at the event. Information: (818) 933-3608.
