Hood College

Dickman guided the Hood men's basketball team to 175 wins in 12 seasons, with 10 seasons resulting in records of .500 or better. In 2006-07, he led the team to the Capital Athletic Conference regular-season championship and Hood's first-ever bid to the NCAA Tournament with a 21-8 record. That same year, Dickman was honored as the CAC Coach of the Year, D3Hoops.com's Mid-Atlantic Coach of the Year and the Bob Flynn Memorial Pride of Maryland Coach of the Year. He coached the golf programs from 2005 through 2013 and served as an associate athletic director before replacing Gib Romaine in the summer of 2013. Under his leadership, the varsity offerings of the department grew to 22 sports with the addition of baseball and women's golf. Dickman initiated partnerships with local organizations, including Frederick County Public Schools, the Rotary Club of Frederick and FC Frederick Soccer, which increased the exposure of Hood's campus and athletic facilities to the community. Hood's student-athletes—whose numbers grew to over 300—earned a bevy of honors, including All-America, Academic All-America, MAC Commonwealth Player of the Year and MAC Commonwealth Rookie of the Year. The Blazers averaged an impressive 110 MAC Honor Roll honors during his tenure as director of athletics.
