The family of Army coach Maggie Dixon has accepted an offer to have Dixon buried at West Point.

The burial, an honor usually reserved for high-ranking officials, is scheduled for Friday.

Dixon, 28, died last Thursday night at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y., after suffering a heart arrhythmia Wednesday. An autopsy conducted Friday found that Dixon had an enlarged heart and a problem with a heart valve, according to the Westchester County Medical Examiner's office. The valve problem could have caused her heart to beat irregularly and ultimately stop.

Thanks, SportsSpaz,

I finally clicked on this article and, in particular, read Adrian Wojnarowski's heartbreaking sub-article. This is an excruciatingly sad story, but at least now I know who Maggie Dixon was and just how much she accomplished in the environment she was in.

Thanks for sharing.
