I have always been a Dickie V admirer but that is now gone. He predictably backs Boeheim in the Syracuse deal and says Whinin' Jimmy was too trusting of others. He has said in the past that Calipari, despite 2 FFs being wiped off the books, was vindicated because he was not disciplined. Vitale has been great for college hoops over the years with his enthusiam for the game and great hoops knowledge. His charity work is remarkable, even inspiring. Schools don't get fired up when other announcers show up but everyone is pumped when Dickie V is in the house. However, backing Boeheim and Calipari has hurt his credibility in my mind. How can anyone take him seriously when he doesn't have the guts to call out the cheaters? He could just stay quiet but he publicly backs the cheaters. Bilas is in the same bed. Tired of it. Will any broadcaster back the NCAA over the television product?
