Pictures from the Front Row: Dick Vitale honored by NABC

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said this about Vitale to Front Row: “It’s hard to imagine anyone who has done more to popularize the sport of college basketball than Dick Vitale. He uses his boundless energy for greatness – for our sport and for larger causes. He is beloved by fans and all of us who live and breathe college basketball every day. Arguably the very best part about Dick Vitale is the series of little things he does every day that people don’t always see. It’s the phone calls of encouragement to those who have lost loved ones. It’s the countless inspiring meetings with sick children and their families to offer them hope. It’s even the irresistibly warm notes he sends to critics who may have publicly disagreed with his point of view. He’s an all-time great and the perfect choice for this prestigious NABC honor.”
