condescend: to assume an air of superiority

When Vitale gives advice to coaches on national television, I think that would feel condescending to me if I was someone like Mike Davis. I don't even remember the specifics, but Vitale kept talking in interviews about advice he had given Davis when they were 7-5 and implied that he was in part responsible for their great run. I have also heard him talk about giving advice to other great coaches like Calvin Sampson and Roy Williams.
