“Dick is an incredible passionate person, and that shines through to everyone who comes in contact with him or reads his inspirational words.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The typical cable subscriber today can watch ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN News, ESPNU, and ESPN Classic. However, in 1979, the concept of a channel that provided sports programming 24 hours a day, seven days a week, seemed far-fetched. Most thought that this new channel would not last long. The fact is, the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network<\/em> (ESPN) did initially struggle. ESPN needed financial investors and advertisers to pay for studios, satellites, and content. They needed contracts with professional organizations and universities to be able to show sporting events. Most importantly, they needed viewers.<\/p>\n

So, when this fledgling network attempted to hire Dick Vitale as the color analyst for the upcoming college basketball season, Vitale, who had never even heard of this network, emphatically declined. \u201cAbsolutely no way,\u201d said Vitale. \u201cI know nothing about TV. I want to get back to where I belong, and my spirit belongs.\u201d Where he thought he belonged was on the sidelines coaching basketball. Vitale had recently been fired by the Detroit Pistons early into his second season on the job. His record had been a dismal 34-60. So, as he sat around waiting for a coaching offer, his wife urged him to give broadcasting a try. Vitale reluctantly agreed and on December 5 of 1979, he called the first ever college basketball game aired on ESPN.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, Vitale was initially not very good as a commentator. He talked over the play-by-play announcer, he talked through commercial breaks, and he generally talked too much. However, he had enthusiasm and a love for the game that translated favorably to the fans watching on TV. \u201cBack then, he was just unbridled enthusiasm,\u201d recalls ESPN anchor Bob Ley. \u201cI say this with affection, but he was like an untrained colt. You were trying to get him into the gate and teach him what broadcasting was because what he had to offer beyond that was infectious.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Vitale never received another big-time offer to coach basketball. However, that turned out to be okay with him. His part-time broadcasting gig turned into a career that has lasted over forty years. The result has been a long-standing love affair between Dick Vitale and college basketball. Because he has called close to 1,000 games, many consider Vitale synonymous with college basketball. As former ESPN president George Bodenheimer said, \u201cYou can\u2019t overstate what he meant to ESPN and really the growth of college basketball on television.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a top analyst for ESPN, \u201cDickie V\u201d has been assigned to many important games. When he arrives on college campuses, he is a real-life celebrity. People take selfies with him. Fans create signs with his name. And, just like at rock concerts where the singer goes into the mosh pit, Vitale\u2019s body sometimes gets passed up through the student section. During games, students chant his nickname, \u201cDickie V,\u201d clap clap clap clap clap, \u201cDickie V.\u201d He is truly a beloved figure in college basketball.<\/p>\n

The most iconic part about Vitale is his \u201cVitale-isms.\u201d These are words and phrases he has made up to describe the game and its players. It would not be uncommon to hear this during a game: \u201cOhhhh. You gotta love him, baby. He\u2019s a real PTPer (prime-time player). Super. Scintillating. Sensational. A Diaper Dandee (outstanding freshmen) who can handle the rock (basketball), hit the trifecta (3-point shot), and finish with a dipsy-doo dunk-a-roo (slam dunk).\u201d Dickie V is Awesome \u2014 with a capital A. And, although most basketball fans understand his sayings, he even has an online glossary to define the terms he uses.<\/p>\n

To be honest, Vitale is not loved by every college basketball fan. He does have critics. Some say he talks too much, sucks up to elite programs, and continuously screams loudly into his microphone. Still, Vitale counters this argument by saying, \u201cI may not always be right, but no one can ever accuse me of not having a genuine love and passion for whatever I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether people love or hate his broadcasting style, everyone must admire what he has done with his life. His life didn\u2019t start well. As a young boy growing up in New Jersey, he accidentally poked himself in the eye with a pencil and subsequently lost his left eye. This situation caused him to be teased mercilessly as a child and it hindered his ability to play sports at a high level.<\/p>\n

However, Vitale graduated from Seton Hall College in1971 and became an elementary school teacher and a high school basketball coach. But then \u2014 and this is extraordinary \u2014 in only seven years<\/em> he went from coaching high school to coaching college at the University of Detroit (1973) to becoming a professional coach for the Detroit Pistons (1978). It is no wonder that Vitale proclaims: \u201cI\u2019ve lived a life that has exceeded every expectation I could have possibly had. I\u2019m living the American dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed. After being named a finalist in 2004, 2006, and 2007, Vitale was elected into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Now, Vitale had never expected to get into any HOF. After all, he was neither an elite player nor an outstanding coach. However, in 2008, Bobby Knight, Indiana\u2019s famous coach, organized a letter-writing campaign whereby every living member of basketball\u2019s hall of fame authored a letter on behalf of Vitale. Every member thought Vitale deserved this honor and believed his induction was the right thing to do. This was how the official inscription read:<\/p>\n

His unbridled enthusiasm for college basketball makes him the game\u2019s biggest cheerleader. His undying devotion to the coaches and his craft makes him the game\u2019s greatest ambassador. The unmistakable voice, the characteristic delivery, the personal dictionary of basketball terminology makes him Dick Vitale. He is one of college basketball’s top analysts and his impact on the game\u2019s popularity is undeniable.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vitale\u2019s enthusiasm is not a schtick<\/em> he turns on for the cameras. Check him out on Google. Dickie V\u2019s enthusiasm is fully documented. He is recognized for having a passion for life that inspires everyone he meets. He is the guy who never learned to say \u201cno,\u201d regardless of how big or small the request. Consequently, he has raised millions of dollars for multiple charities through tireless efforts and appearances. Even now, at the age of 81, he is in high demand as one of the most inspirational public speakers in the country. As his full calendar of events demonstrates, there is no sign that Vitale is slowing down. In fact, in a recent Sports Illustrated <\/em>article, he declared, \u201cI want to walk on the court at 100 years old, the first broadcaster ever to sit there and say, \u2018’YOU\u2019RE AWESOME, BABY!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
