April 12, 200818 yr He is going in as a contributor. If anyone really does get how he qualifies, needs to explain to me why not. He has done more to raise the awareness of the game of basketball than any other non-player I can think of. That article reeeeeeeeks of jealousy. :thumb:
April 12, 200818 yr Dickie V. is definitely a PTPer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I agree oldrambler!
April 14, 200818 yr He is the face of college basketball for YEARs. And what a hideous face it is my friend.
April 14, 200818 yr I don't much care for him, but he deserves in. He has been the face of College Basketball on ESPN for the last 20+ years. Not to mention his work on raising money for cancer just makes him a good human being. He is biased and a terrible announcer but just not liking him makes me enjoy a game he calls so much more because I can argue with the tv.
April 14, 200818 yr I can barely listen to Vitale anymore, but have no trouble whatsoever justifying his induction as a contributor to the game. This columnist seems to have received his orders from above, or he's just a big jerk. Don't know for sure, as I've never heard of him or read anything by him before. I could barely listen to Harry Carey also - but, I knew he was still a hall of famer. Vitale is the same way.:thumb:
April 15, 200818 yr ONE of the GREATEST, if not the GREATEST ambassadors of college basketball that there is. He may be winded, but he has an unbelievable passion for the game of basketball! I had the honor of hearing him speak one time at a coaches clinic and it was flat out amazing, he is a tremendously engaging speaker! NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS GUY IS A HALL-of-FAMER!!!! Agreed 100% Babyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
