For nearly 40 years, Dick Vitale has been announcing and analyzing college basketball for the ESPN family of networks. In doing so, he’s become a household name, and an icon of the sport.
Since the first game that he announced on December 5th, 1979, Vitale has been on the sideline for hundreds of games, and relied upon for his expert analysis for thousands more. In that time, he’s been up close and personal with the sport and its biggest stars. And that’s exactly what Vitale writes about in his latest book, Dick Vitale’s Mount Rushmores of College Basketball.
