Doug Gottlieb is a former NCAA collegiate basketball player for Oklahoma State and current ESPN analyst and host of the ESPN Radio show GameNight.

[edit]
Early career
Originally hailing from Orange County, California, Gottlieb had a successful career at Oklahoma State from 1996-1999, leading the nation in assists as a junior after averaging 8.8 assists per game - .2 assists better than his senior season, when he ranked 2nd in the nation with 8.6 assists per game. He currently ranks eighth all-time in NCAA career assists with 947.

Gottlieb was never known as a shooter, especially at the foul stripe, as he averaged 36.8% from the field and a paltry 45.7% from the line. Said Gottlieb, "I've never seen people not guard somebody the way they do me." Nevertheless, playing alongside future NBA star Desmond Mason, he became one of OSU's most popular players, leading coach Eddie Sutton to successful runs in the NCAA tournament.

He was kicked off the Notre Dame basketball team his freshman year for stealing another student's credit card.

[edit]
Life Before & After O.S.U.
His scholarship to Notre Dame came on the heels of a productive Amateur Athletic Union and high school career, in which he was awarded the Orange County Player of the Year. Gottlieb's father, Bob Gottlieb, coached Jacksonville for two seasons and led the team to the NIT in 1974, before settling in southern California. He still coaches AAU yearly. After graduating from college, Gottlieb was picked by the Enid, Oklahoma USBL team the Oklahoma Storm, who made him the first overall draft pick of the 2000 USBL Draft. After a short stint with the Storm, Gottlieb pursued a short-lived basketball career overseas, which included a stop in Israel. Because Gottlieb had to apply for citizenship in order to play for an Israeli team, after Gottlieb left, he was drafted into the Israeli military in absentee, and his absence led the government to file official charges of draft dodging against the unknowing former-point guard. The charges were later dropped.

The younger Gottlieb married former model and UCLA cheerleader Angie Collier in August 2001. The witty Gottlieb is known for his colorful analysis and biting humor, and can be heard on ESPN Radio's GameNight nightly alongside co-hosts Jeff Rickard, Freddie Coleman and John Seibel. Gottlieb is also a frequent guest on ESPN television shows including SportsCenter and also on College Basketball Gameday Final.
