Dick Vitale's end of season awards:

B1G Coach of the Year: Richard Pitino, Minnesota

And I always thought he was a big blowhard.
 


In Vegas for the weekend. Ran into Dick Vitale at the show we were at. Put in a plug for Minnesota. Got a selfie with Him also. Would put it in post but don't know how.
 


Always liked Dickie V. People forget this is entertainment. Love the excitement and fun he brings to broadcasts
 


It's easy to make fun of Dickie V but I have a great deal of respect for people who do what they love until their death. I can't see him ever retiring. He's a pioneer that changed the way college basketball games are called. His excitement for the game is not shtick - he truly loves NCAA basketball.
 

Dickie V is one of the few nationals I've seen who have Pitino as B1G COY, as most have Collins. I can't figure that out, as Pitino beats Collins on every conceivable metric, save that his program has been historically wretched. Who does the voting for COY anyway...local media in conference markets?
 

I really like Dickie V unless Duke or UNC is playing.
