Veteran assistant coach Larry Dixon has joined Kevin Keatts basketball staff at NC State.

“I think Larry is a great addition to our staff,” Keatts said. “He’s a North Carolina native that has dedicated himself to a coaching career since graduating from college. He started at the high school level in North Carolina and eventually moved up to college and now has been a Division I assistant coach for almost 20 years. I think his experience is going to be a great asset for me and our coaching staff, as well as the young men in our program as we develop them on and off the court.”

Dixon had spent the past five seasons as an assistant coach at South Florida. He has also worked at Georgia Southern, Winthrop, East Carolina, South Carolina State, and St. Andrews College.
