Dick Vitale called back, and immediately apologized. He couldn’t do an interview and he couldn’t talk for long. These were his doctor’s orders, and Vitale wasn’t leaving anything to chance on the cusp of returning from nearly two years of cancer-induced, on-air silence. “I must do stuff to save my voice,” Vitale explained over the telephone.
