A friend of mine took his son to get an autograph from Dick Vitale at the Final Four in Atlanta in 2002.
It was a promotional event where Vitale was getting paid to sign autographs.
My friend told Vitale that him and his son were big KU basketball fans… Vitale signed their commemorative mini basketball “Go UK, Go ‘Cats” and his signature.
My friend said “No we are KU… Kansas Jayhawks fans” and asked if they could get a new mini basketball to correctly sign for his son. My friend even offered to pay for the new/replacement commemorative mini basketball.
Vitale told him to get lost and had security remove my friend and his 11 year son from the promotional event.
What a Dick.
