He's a Prime Time Player, Baybee
He brought a ton of color to college basketball play by play
Al McGuire was my favorite
The day before the championship game
He rented a Harley and rode around looking for antiques in the countryside
Then won the Championship that evening
McGuire was 20–4 against Wisconsin
Here he is on the scorers bench after beating the badgers

Excellent article
Dickey V was genuine
I watched him announce the Gonzaga-UCLA game
It was good to see him back in good shape
Rather emotional night

Vitale is one of a kind and he has a sincere love for the game and the players. I can forgive his over-the-top stuff...that's just his style. He does kiss Coach K's ass ad nauseum, but he heaps plenty of praise on other coaches too. I'll always think of him and Jim Valvano in the same spirit.
In an era full of fakes, I appreciate guys like Dick Vitale more than ever.

We met him at a Tampa Bay baseball game. He was sitting in front of us a few rows. We approached him for an autograph for my son and he gladly obliged. Very friendly man.
