Review:
There is no better ambassador for the game of basketball than Dick Vitale. His enthusiasm for the sport and the people in it are unmatched, but it doesn't stop there with Dick. He has championed a fight and used his platform like none other in helping to raise millions in the fight against cancer. He is a true PTPer for the game and in life. --Kentucky coach John Calipari
There has not been a better ambassador for college basketball over the last 35 years than Dick Vitale. He's unique because he's been able to take his vast basketball knowledge, being a coach, to the public in a way which nobody has ever before. Dick has also used his platform and popularity to do what is most dear to him, to raise money to fight cancer through the V Foundation. It's remarkable what he has accomplished professionally and personally in his lifetime. --Kansas coach Bill Self
