Bob Valvano

Bob Valvano is an American sportscaster based in Louisville, Kentucky.

During the college-basketball season, he is an analyst for ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN Plus, mostly covering Big East basketball. When not doing those games, Valvano is the color analyst for University of Louisville men's basketball games on both radio (WKRD 790 AM) and television (WHAS-TV). He formally coached the Bellarmine University Knights men's basketball team in Louisville.

Valvano is also a radio talk-show host on both the national and local level. Valvano is the host of "The V Show", an overnight weekend show on ESPN Radio that airs Friday and Saturday nights from 1-6 a.m. Eastern Time. Valvano also hosts "The Bob and Will Show", a Louisville, Kentucky-based sports-talk show on 93.9(FM) The Ticket. Bob's co-host on that show is former Buffalo Bills player Will Wolford. Valvano is also an occasional host of "The 19th Hole" on the Golf Channel.

Valvano is the younger brother of former North Carolina State college basketball coach and TV commentator Jim Valvano. He is active in the V Foundation, Jim Valvano's legacy in the fight against cancer.

A regular segment on "The V Show" is the "Zero-Thousand-Dollar Pyramid," which was inspired by the Pyramid series of game shows.
