Posted Nov 14, 2018
ESPN's Dick Vitale has called games on the network for nearly 40 years. And he came out with a book, Dick Vitale’s Mount Rushmores of College Basketball, breaking down the best and the brightest that he’s covered since 1979. He said, "Three are automatic: Mike Krzyzewski, Bob Knight, Dean Smith, and the fourth was between four or five guys. But we went Roy Williams." (Inside Carolina)
