When Patrick Patterson was being recruited, is it true that Dick Vitale said on a broadcast that Patrick Patterson would be a fool NOT to go to play for Duke and Coach K?
If true, was he reprimanded in any way?
It is hard for me to believe that all of the other schools that were recruiting him didn't go nuts wanting Vitale face some kind of punishment. Back then the NCAA still had some power and you would have thought they would have wanted some punishment as well.
Someone recently told me this and I didn't know if it was true or not.
Thanks in advance.
