Broadcast Career
In 2002, Gottlieb co-hosted a midday sports-talk show on an Oklahoma City, OK radio station WWLS 640-AM known locally as "The Sports Animal". Gottlieb was hired by ESPN Radio in September 2003 as co-host of ESPN Radio's GameNight. He would then move to host The Pulse weekday evenings from 8 to 10 Eastern before moving to afternoon drive (4 P.M. to 7 P.M. ET). He also served as a college basketball analyst for ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNEWS, and wrote for espn.com. Gottlieb was also a frequent guest on other ESPN television shows, including SportsCenter and also on College Basketball Gameday Final. He occasionally appeared on the shows SportsNation (TV series) and Mike and Mike in the Morning as a guest host.
Gottlieb and Syracuse University basketball coach, Jim Boeheim have traded barbs since 2005 because of Gottlieb's criticism of what he regards as Syracuse's soft nonconference schedule and Boeheim's comments regarding Gottlieb's difficulties at Notre Dame. Boeheim has discussed their feud publicly. Along with then-University of Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl, Gottlieb helped coach the United States team at the 2009 Maccabiah Games.
On July 31, 2012, Gottlieb announced that he was leaving ESPN to join CBS. He will host an afternoon show on CBS Sports Radio. He will also serve as a studio and game analyst for CBS Sports’ coverage of regular-season college basketball and joint coverage with Turner Sports of the NCAA basketball tournament.
