Dick Vitale in the Hall of Fame Baby!

I guess Dicky V finally got his due. Some people dislike his style but he is one of the reasons why ESPN college basketball telecasts have become so popular.
Vitale was 78-30 coaching U-D from 1973-77, taking the Titans to the 1977 NCAA tournament. "If my career ended today, this would be the ultimate," said Vitale, who returned in February after a few months off to take care of growths on his vocal cords.After a year as U-D's athletic director he coached the Pistons during the entire 1978-79 season and the beginning of the following season.
