I'm not a huge fan of Vitals in game work, never have been. That said he's been great at building excitement and endorsing the game of college bball over the years. Like him or not he developed his own shtick that hyped the college game in a very positive way for many years. I'm sure that ESPN is ready to move into another direction for their main prime time guys which is fine and their prerogative, I have no issues with this nor do I think its a real slight to Vitale as he has in some sense become a caricature of himself while doing live games which for many can be tough to take since there was a time he actually spent a vast majority of his air time during a game talking about that game and those specific programs. I worry that he is the kind of guy that once he's done could fade fast and ESPN still lets Knight do games (who has pretty much lost it, sadly) so I hope Vital can do games until he no longer wants to even if its not prime time anymore. By almost every account I have ever heard Vital has come across as a very nice person face to face and always willing to give of his time so whatever I think of his style I would like him to be able to continue on as long as he wants to.
