Dickie V has vocal cord cancer.

The way you act I doubt if anyone did.
Dickie V is just a big fan. He pulls for every player and every coach to succeed. We get our feathers ruffled because that means he fawns over Duke and UNC. But those fans hate that he fawns over Kentucky and Kansas. Truth is he would fawn over the Little Sisters of the Poor if they upset Indiana. He just loves the game.
Saw Dick bring his Detroit team into Rupp for the ' 77 NCAA Tourney 2nd round and played Michigan TOUGH. Lost 86 - 81. That squad beat Marquette that season, who eventually won the title. He had a really good team.
Wishing DV well.

too many people overcome their battle with cancer only to see cancer come back a few years later.
I used to hope for a cure in my lifetime, now I'm hoping for a cure in my children's lifetime.

During my years in the Committee of 101, I had the privilege to meet Dick and correspond with him some. When some say his “Schtick”, they are correct. In person he is nothing like his on-camera personality. He is very caring and personable.
Agree 100% and it couldn't have been said any better.
If he had known you, I bet he would have, That's the kind of person he seems to be.
I honestly feel that you never really beat cancer. Knock on wood.
Seems like it's been a hot topic for 35 years now, probably longer I'm 41 and always was front and center. I know we have made strides in research just don't know what that means. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy is still the way they go about it. If you don't want that treatment then they give you a bottle of pills to be comfortable while you pass away. I'm sure success rates have increased just doesn't seem that way. It's not a HIV situation where if you have money you have the cure.
When I read that guys response about not giving a damn about him when he was sick, kinda made me sick. Why say things like that. What an A$$. To type it is one thing, but to hit send is another.
Same here. I know some don't really care for him but you can just tell how much he loves college basketball.
Sending out prayers for him.
I liked Vitale for the most part. He represents the golden age of NCAA Basketball to me. Hopefully he can beat this too, he’s made a good living so at least he has the resources to fight.
Just shows how much he loves being around basketball. Some people love whatever work they do so much they want to be there even at the end. He’s gotten to travel the country and meet so many great players and coaches over the years. I hope he does take time for himself and family though.
How was it “all about him” when he used his platform to raise money for cancer victims ranging from children to adults?
How much money have you raised for those less fortunate than you?
I don’t think prayer’s a waste of time. I was responding to a poster who said positive vibes don’t mean anything. My attitude is to each their own.
