Vitale is over excitable, but lovable and genuinely cares for the kids.
Packer is there to tell everyone how much he thinks he knows. He is all ego. Never does a game that he does pass without a reference to something from 40 or 50 years ago. If we wanted the history of the NCAA, we'd buy the book that Joe Crowley just wrote on the first 100 years of the organization. He is a relic, a has-been, and a dinosaur.
I almost fell out of my chair when he told the NCAA selection committee chair, Mr. Littlepage, that they needed to look at five and ten year trends! Is he aware that this is college basketball and the players are turned over much faster than that. For the best players it's one or two years and gone.
Mr. Littlepage responded nicely by telling Packer that conference or team history is not important. It is about the performance in the current year.
I guess Packer wants everyone to rest on their laurels like he does.

In the end, I'll take Dickie V any day. I can't stand five minutes of Packer.
