Eh. He needs to retire. His voice sounds like gravel.

Dickie V gets under my skin now I e gotten older and tired of his cliches.

He’s been around for years but his antics on TV helped expand viewership in college basketball in the 80’s.

He’s an ambassador of the game but more importantly, a philanthropist raising money for St. Jude’s.

People may not like his voice and he is certainly past his prime, but I love the passion and spirit he brings to College Basketball. It may not be the most in depth analysis or commentary, but it is a spirited one. Plus, listening to the last broadcast, he has alot of help around him to bring color to the game. He is just there to pump you up here and there.

He is and always has been a clown show. Pass.

Please just retire already. 5 years back there was hardly anyone I wouldn’t prefer to call a game over him and now with his damaged voice it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. Guess I’ll be forced to watch that one with the volume muted.

Can't wait to hear who had had dinner with and lots of other useless commentary about things that have nothing to do with the game.

Man beats cancer several times and wants to live out his remaining days doing the thing he has loved for most of his life.

The same people who call others a POS if they question a coach demand the guy retires.

I'm all for him calling a game as long as he doesn't tell irrelevant stories during play. He got bad with that right before his absence. Seems like he didn't do it as much the first time or two since he's been back

My hope is that ESPN is letting him call a few more games as a "thank you" for 45 years of service, and then he's done. I've had him on mute for 30 years unless someone else has the remote control. His schtick is a poor substitute for real analysis, and his blue blood bias is ridiculous. With that said, props to him for beating cancer and giving hope and inspiration to others to do the same.
