Since joining ESPN in 1979, Dick Vitale has become the senior spokesman for college hoops. He is the popular, vivid, vibrant voice of the sport who has been called "The Cable Cosell" and who still believes in having fun on the job. Who else but Dick Vitale would allow himself to be passed up through the stands by the Duke University students or be televised standing on his head in the studio after losing a bet on an NCAA tournament game between Illinois and Austin Peay? There are also few other broadcasters in history who have developed their own glossary of terms, with phrases that are now part of the popular culture. Vitale has witnessed the phenomenal growth of TV sports and has been there to chronicle the history and trends in the game, both the good and the bad. His association with the giants of coaching, like Bob Knight, Mike Krzyzewski, John Thompson, and Rick Pitino, and his experience as a former coach on the high school, collegiate, and professional levels, have given him a unique perspective on the game and a philosophy he has passed down from generation to generation of basketball fans. Vitale reveals details about his start at ESPN and shares his feelings about the most important people in the college basketball world, on both personal and professional levels.
