Mark Dixon joined the Stony Brook men's basketball staff in June of 2024. The 2024-25 season was his first on staff with the Seawolves.

Dixon came to Long Island by way of Marquette University, where he spent three seasons on the coaching staff under Shaka Smart. He served as a program assistant during his first two seasons with the Golden Eagles before being elevated to assistant coach for the 2023-24 season. He helped Marquette win a team-record 29 games, tie the league record for wins (17), and win the Big East Conference regular season and tournament titles in 2022-23. Dixon played an instrumental role in player development for the Golden Eagles, helping mold the league’s player of the year (Tyler Kolek), the sixth man award winner (David Joplin) and a pair of all-league honorees (Kam Jones and Oso Ighodaro) in 2022-23.

In his first season as an assistant coach in Milwaukee, Dixon helped Marquette advance to the Big East Tournament title game for the second straight season, earn a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2013. Marquette totaled 56 wins over the last two seasons, the highest two-year total in program history.

Prior to his time at Marquette, Dixon spent the 2020-21 campaign at Texas as a graduate assistant with the men’s basketball program under Smart. He assisted with the day-to-day operations of the program, including player development and opponent scouting.

A native of Riviera Beach, Florida, Dixon earned his graduate degree in the Master's in Management program at Marquette in 2023. He earned his bachelor’s in sports management from Florida International in May of 2020 and a graduate certificate from Marquette in sports leadership in 2022.
