Dick Vitale's charitable work is great! He deserves a ton of credit for that.

Otherwise, he is a fraud! His constant defense of coaches is complete b.s. He holds himself up as a bastion of integrity in college basketball and waxes poetic about student-athletes and academics, then praises guys like Calipari, Boeheim, Calhoun, etc. You can't take anything he says about any coach seriously.

If there is a game on and he is calling it, I usually mute it or turn the channel. Him, Bilas, Raftery, amongst others

What's wrong with Bilas? He's not a butt kisser, is extremely knowledgeable, and hates the NCAA probably more than most fans.

he is much better than most but he has an arrogance and smugness about him. He went out of his way to defend Coach K about accusations that the USA coaching gig is a recruiting advantage.

It clearly is, just admit it. It bothered me a tad. Or more. Defend points based on accuracy NOT ALLEGIANCE!

Exactly what WayneFleekHoosier said. Bilas is WAY too pro Duke and pro "elite". Him and most of the commentators favor and defend Duke, UNC, Kentucky, etc no matter what they do.

All of them favor coaches. They have to have access to the programs to do their jobs well none of them ever talk bad about a coach.

Fair enough. I just find him one of the better ones for straight up game analysis. Unless I happen to fall into a bale of ganja, then it's Walton all the way.
