University of Houston Men's Basketball Head Coach James Dickey announced Monday he will step down from his current position due to private family matters.
In his four years with the Houston family, Dickey elevated the program across many facets while making the transition to the American Athletic Conference.
The 2013-14 season saw the Houston program defeat three top-25 teams, its most wins over ranked opponents since the 1983-84 season, while recording a program-best APR of 930 and setting records for fall and semester team GPAs.
Dickey holds a career record of 217-196 with a mark of 64-62 while at Houston, including one postseason berth as the Cougars advanced to the 2013 CBI quarterfinals.
