Pussies.

I don't like the Duke thing either, but the indefatigable enthusiasm is what the college game is all about. Not many of the commentators add much to the broadcasts that hasn't been spoon-fed from the university SIDs. You'd rather hear Billy Packer, for crying out loud?

IF you ever catch an old game called by him on ESPN Classic, he really knows what he's talking about. In fact Old Dickie V is far better than any basketball color guy today (not that that's saying much). He's just bought into his own image and really become a caricature of himself. And his never ending hyping of the ACC is really annoying, any non biased basketball eye would tell you the ACC sucks this year, but he'll have you believe they deserver 8 entries.All that being said, I can't speak to MtotheP's experience, but my brother saw him at some resteraunt in FL (probably the same one where this infamous phone call took place) and said he was great, just talked basketball with everyone and signed autographs. The guy really loves basketball and people. It’s too bad what Dickie V has become. IF you ever catch an old game called by him on ESPN Classic, he really knows what he’s talking about.

He adds a ton of excitement to the game broadcast and is really one of a kind. It's just in the past 6-8 years or so when Duke was in it's prime run he decided to become a total schlep for that program and made a lot of his future broadcasts painful to endure (duke this, duke that) I think Vitale used to be a good announcer.

Awesome. I was in the Far West AAU 3-Point contest in high school and Dickie V was there and I was not impressed with him, he was mean to the younger kids because they couldn't focus on his boring stories (He was giving a motivational speech, baby!). And I swear to God, I wasn't even paying attention and he just came up and signed my shirt, it was pretty funny. After the contest, it went in the wash just like any other shirt would.

He's a hypeman, and a bad one at that. Other commentators at least try to add some insight and game analysis. Vitale just adds volume. Anyway, regarding him trashing Noah - that's hilarious.
