I think you just have to look at how Vitale has changed the broadcasting of basketball and the impact he has had upon the college game as an ambassador to the game.  He has been and is the face of college basketball broadcasting.  Sure he's over-the-top, but that's what makes him who he is.  When he was recuperating this season the game just wasn't the same.  The HOF is for people who have made a great impact on the game and Dickie V does belong!

Even if you feel commentators belong in the HOF, why Vitale? He does way more for college. When do you ever see him do an NBA game???

NO!  Since 2000, 31 non players have made the Hall, and only 19 players (20 coaches!)  The committee has gotten far too lax on non-players.  Vitale's a nice personality, does that mean Lee Corso belongs in the football HOF?

It isn't the NBA Hall of Fame it is the Basketball Hall of Fame, that is why all these non players/owners / Anouncers/ and pioneers of the game are getting elected.

   Dick Vitale did a pretty good Job as the coach of the Detroit Mercy, but stunk it up when he coached the Detroit Pistons.

   Dickey V is a fixture of college basketball for many years, so that alone should put him in the Basketball Hall of Fame

Vitale and his shtick is getting very tiresome.  I found my self enjoying the games more during his illness.  ESPN touts him and claims that he has all this knowledge yet often I am left wondering if we are even watching the same game.  he can go a entire half it seems without providing a shred of information to the viewer.  The only good thing about this is that maybe he will retire sooner.

As a College ball fan, I can only hope.

Absolutely! Dickie V's enthusiasm and knowledge are part of what makes college basketball great. He has brought the attention to the game. Tell me you know a fan who has not tried to do a Dickie V impersonation. He brings life to college basketball - otherwise we've have the NBA!
