Ex-Tech head coach Dickey joins UH
HOUSTON
Dickey replaces Tom Penders, who resigned less than two weeks
ago after leading the Cougars to their first NCAA tournament berth
since 1992.
Dickey led the Red Raiders to unprecedented success in his
tenure there, the height of which came in 1996 when they went 30-2
and reached the NCAA round of 16. But an NCAA investigation soon
followed and the team struggled in the wake of scholarship losses.
He was fired after four straight losing seasons and was soon
replaced by Bob Knight.
Dickey was as an assistant at Oklahoma State and has been out of
coaching the last seasons.
