Dick Vitale drives some people crazy. His hyperbole is usually over the top. The General! The Michelangelo of college basketball!
A lot of non-Duke fans call him Dukie V because they perceive a sense of bias towards Duke, but the reality isn’t that it’s Duke, it’s that Vitale likes being around great baseball. If it shifts to Gonzaga, so will Vitale. He goes where the juice is. No hard feelings there.
At the end of the day though, people appreciate his passion and immense love of the game.
But it isn’t just basketball.
Vitale has had two great passions in the last few decades.
