The Betty White of college hoops. The world is a better place with him in it. Hope he's still with us talking hoops till he's 100.

A great man...throwback...

I'd almost like to see him make a 5 minute tape talking about why he values and loves life.
What is it that he sees and feels and hears that makes his life worth living.
And take that tape to all the junior high and high schools for these young men and women to see.
Maybe, just maybe cut back on drug ODs and other suicide modes.

Every time I remember him at the Dome when I was a student he always came over and interacted with the student section taking pics having a good laugh and getting the group riled up. It was all just pure joy when he did it as well.

It's funny. Over the years, I grew tired of Vitale and all his catch phrases, and thought he took over the game too much. I clamored for him to retire for a solid decade plus.

And then when he wasn't around, I missed having him call games. So happy he is doing well. He loves college hoops and brings a lot of energy and passion to the games he calls. And with all the good he does outside of basketball, he is an easy person to root for. Excited to have him back!

Hes a very good person. Has done an amazing job raising money and awareness to fight cancer. If others with his reach did a fraction of what Dick does can you imagine how much money could be raised to beat this horrible disease.
Dick is in the HOF of givers. Prime time player!
