'''Douglas Mitchell Gottlieb''' (born January 15, 1976)<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/236536/2018/02/12/gottlieb-the-mistakes-i-made-and-the-price-i-paid/|title=Gottlieb: The mistakes I made, and the price I paid|first=Doug|last=Gottlieb|website=The Athletic}}</ref> is an American basketball analyst, [[Sports radio|sports talk radio]] host and [[college basketball]] [[coach (sport)|coach]] who is the head men's basketball coach at the [[Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball|University of Wisconsin–Green Bay]]. Gottlieb played [[National Collegiate Athletic Association|NCAA]] collegiate basketball, twice leading the nation in assists, and professional basketball (including [[USBL]], leading the league in assists). In addition to his coaching duties at Green Bay, he works for [[Fox Sports]] after tenures with the [[Pac-12 Network]], [[CBS Sports]], and [[ESPN]].<ref name="FoxSports_GottliebJoins">{{cite press release|url=http://www.foxsports.com/presspass/latest-news/2017/03/22/doug-gottlieb-joins-fox-sports-radio-and-fs1|title=Doug Gottlieb Joins FOX Sports Radio and FS1|work=[[Fox Sports]]|date=March 22, 2017|access-date=March 22, 2017|location=Los Angeles}}</ref>

==Basketball-playing career==
===College basketball===
After signing a [[national letter of intent]] with [[University of Notre Dame|Notre Dame]], Gottlieb was their starting [[point guard]] during the 1995–96 college basketball season, starting all but the first four games and leading the team with 154 assists as well as steals and minutes played. Gottlieb was widely known at this time for his efficient ball-handling skills. He left Notre Dame after an incident in which he stole a classmate's credit card and used it to charge multiple purchases. <ref name="Foster">{{cite news|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-09-13-sp-43414-story.html|title=Gottlieb Charged in Credit Card Theft|date=September 13, 1996|access-date=2011-12-21|work=Los Angeles Times|first=Chris|last=Foster}}</ref><ref>{{cite news| url=http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-dwyre-20111227,0,4534355.column | work=Los Angeles Times | first=Bill | last=Dwyre | title=ESPN's Doug Gottlieb brings a rare quality to sports-talk radio: context | date=2011-12-26}}</ref>

Despite offers from [[Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball|Cincinnati]], [[Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball|Alabama]], and others to transfer and sit out a season on their campus, Gottlieb chose to sit out his transfer year at Golden West College. GWC was coached by his former [[Tustin High School]] coach Tom McCluskey, and Gottlieb took on the role of [[Redshirt (college sports)|redshirt]] player/coach. He practiced with the team and traveled to road games as the assistant coach. In addition, Gottlieb was a volunteer assistant at his high school, under Andy Ground. In one game at [[Santa Ana Valley High School|Santa Ana Valley]], Ground was ejected, and Gottlieb coached the team to an overtime loss.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

Gottlieb was perceived to be waiting on [[Baron Davis]] to choose a school, as [[UCLA Bruins men's basketball|UCLA]] and [[Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets men's basketball|Georgia Tech]] both indicated that Gottlieb was their second choice, after Davis. After Davis chose UCLA, where Gottlieb's family had season tickets for 20 years and his brother and sister were alums (sister was captain of the cheer squad), Gottlieb looked elsewhere to play college ball. His final schools were [[Marquette Golden Eagles men's basketball|Marquette]], Georgia Tech, Alabama, [[Oklahoma State Cowboys basketball|Oklahoma State]], [[Utah Utes men's basketball|Utah]], [[Oregon Ducks men's basketball|Oregon]], and [[Tennessee Volunteers basketball|Tennessee]]. In 1997, Gottlieb accepted an offer from Oklahoma State coach [[Eddie Sutton]] (under whom Gottlieb's father had once been assistant coach) to attend the university. He immediately took over as point guard for an Oklahoma State team that had gone 17–15 in consecutive years, and led the Cowboys to the [[1998 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]].{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}

During his second year with Oklahoma State, Gottlieb led the NCAA in assists, with 299, and also led the nation in assists per game, with 8.8, only the second Cowboy to lead the nation in a statistical category.<ref name="auto1">{{cite web|url=https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/doug-gottlieb-1.html|title=Doug Gottlieb College Stats|website=College Basketball at Sports-Reference.com}}</ref> He also started setting Oklahoma State assist records, breaking the school career mark with 500 (after only two seasons) and broke the school record of 22 career double-figure assist games. In a game against [[Florida Atlantic Owls men's basketball|Florida Atlantic]], Gottlieb set a school record and tied the [[Big 12]] mark with 18 assists, and in the [[2000 Big 12 men's basketball tournament|Big 12 tournament]], he set the record for assists in a game (14) as well as in tournament play (38). He led the Big 12 in games, with 34.<ref name="auto1"/> The 1998–99 season culminated with another trip to the [[1999 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]].

As a senior, Gottlieb again led the NCAA in assists, with 293, and finished second in the nation in assists per game with 8.6.<ref name="auto1"/><ref name="allbusiness1">{{cite web|url=http://www.allbusiness.com/sports-recreation/sports-games-outdoor/6419828-1.html|title=Sports Games Outdoors|access-date=June 3, 2011}}{{dead link|date=June 2016|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> He was 7th in the Big 12 in both steals, with 53, and games, with 34.<ref name="auto1"/> Gottlieb's senior season ended with a third consecutive trip to the [[2000 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]], and the team made it all the way to the [[2000 NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|Elite Eight]].<ref>{{cite web|last=Nulph |first=Scott |url=http://www.stwnewspress.com/osusports/x58346047/Doug-Gottlieb-helped-Oklahoma-State-reach-the-Elite-8-in-2000-Today-he-discusses-basketball-as-ESPNs-resident-Cowboy |title=Doug Gottlieb helped Oklahoma State reach the Elite 8 in 2000.

Gottlieb notably entered a game with his shorts on backwards. He then took his shorts off while on the court, and put them back on correctly. He was guarded from cameras and taunting fans by a circle that his teammates formed around their embarrassed teammate. When Gottlieb became a broadcaster after his playing days ended, this incident was mentioned in a press conference by [[North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball|North Carolina]] head coach Roy Williams. After being questioned about criticism of his program by Gottlieb, Williams responded that Gottlieb "couldn't even put his pants on the right way." Williams then said "shorts on backwards, shorts on backwards," imitating the chant that opposing fans said to Gottlieb after the incident.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/roy-williams-blasts-doug-gottlieb-in-post-game-press-conference-01dm0x6tg7ct|title=Roy Williams Blasts Doug Gottlieb In Post-Game Press Conference|website=The Big Lead|date=February 20, 2016 }}</ref>

Gottlieb broke all of Oklahoma State's assist records, and ranks tenth all-time in NCAA career assists, with 947.{{as of?|date=March 2024}}<ref>{{cite news |url-status=dead |url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/2000/nba_draft/draftboard/players/195.html |title=CNNSI.com – Doug Gottlieb |access-date=2009-02-07 |archive-date=March 28, 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070328213728/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/2000/nba_draft/draftboard/players/195.html }}</ref> He graduated from Oklahoma State in 2000 with a [[Bachelor of Arts|bachelor's degree]] in marketing.

===Professional basketball===
After graduating from college, Gottlieb went undrafted in the [[National Basketball Association|NBA]] draft but was the first pick of the [[Oklahoma Storm]] in the 2000 [[United States Basketball League]] draft.<ref name="allbusiness1" /> Gottlieb's season with the Storm was successful, as he led the USBL in assists and helped the Storm to a 2nd-place finish in the team's inaugural season (losing to the [[Dodge City Legend]] in the USBL Championship Game).

The [[Idaho Stampede]] of the [[Continental Basketball Association]] signed Gottlieb on November 28, 2000, prior to training camp, and then released him on December 13, two days before their opening game.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/transactions/2000/12/13/index.html|title=Transactions|work=CNN|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010127145900/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/transactions/2000/12/13/index.html|archive-date=2001-01-27|url-status=dead}}</ref> On December 28, he signed with the [[Salina Rattlers]] of the (now defunct) [[International Basketball Association]], and played in six games (four starts) before the team released him due to Gottlieb's intent to play overseas.<ref name="auto">{{cite web|url=https://www.maccabiusa.com/doug-gottlieb-appointed-as-head-coach-for-maccabi-usas-open-mens-basketball-team-for-the-20th-world-maccabiah-games/|title=Doug Gottlieb Appointed as Head Coach for Maccabi USA's Open Men's Basketball Team for the 20th World Maccabiah Games|date=June 14, 2016}}</ref>

Gottlieb then took his basketball career overseas, which included a stop in [[Israel]] after signing with [[Maccabi Ra'anana]]. Gottlieb played internationally at the professional level in [[France]], [[Russia]], and Israel.

In February 2001, he joined [[PBC Ural Great|Ural Great Perm]] of the [[Russian Basketball Super League|Russian Basketball Federation]], and helped the team win the league championship.<ref name="henderson2001">{{cite news| url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-feb-12-sp-24494-story.html | work=Los Angeles Times | first=Martin | last=Henderson | title=Oklahoma St. Tragedy Hits Gottlieb Hard | date=2001-02-12}}</ref><ref name="auto"/>

Following Ural's season, Gottlieb traveled to Israel and won a [[gold medal]] as the MVP for the United States team at the [[2001 Maccabiah Games]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/columnists/les_levine/basketball-has-been-in-the-air-for-gottlieb-family/article_9d148556-82bf-11e3-93ec-0019bb2963f4.html|title=Basketball has been in the air for Gottlieb family|first=LES|last=LEVINE|website=Cleveland Jewish News|date=January 22, 2014 }}</ref> In the title game, the U.S. team defeated Israel 82–71.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jewishsports.com/profiles/2001maccabiahhoops.htm|title=2001 US Maccabiah Basketball Team|date=August 2001|access-date=2007-03-10}}</ref>

He then played for the [[Los Angeles Lakers]] in the [[NBA Summer League]],<ref name="auto"/>  and then was invited to return to the Oklahoma Storm. However, he and new coach [[Kareem Abdul-Jabbar]] did not see eye-to-eye, and he was released before the season began.

Following his release, Gottlieb played the 2001–02 season in Israel with the [[Maccabi Ra'anana]].<ref name="auto"/>

==Broadcast career==
In 2002, Gottlieb co-hosted a midday sports talk show on [[Oklahoma City]] radio station [[KWPN (AM)|WWLS]] 640 AM, known locally as "The Sports Animal". Gottlieb took the job in Oklahoma City only after securing a job to call college basketball games on ESPN and ESPN Regional. In addition, Gottlieb called Oklahoma State games for the Cowboy Basketball Network. At the end of the 2002–2003 season, Gottlieb returned to France to play for Claremont Ferrand. Upon returning stateside he worked out with the [[Minnesota Timberwolves]] Summer League team and co-hosted the [[2003 NBA draft|NBA draft]] on [[ESPN Radio]].

Gottlieb was hired by ESPN Radio in September 2003 as co-host of ESPN Radio's ''[[GameNight]]. Gamenight'' was ESPN Radio's longest running show. Gottlieb's co-host was [[Chuck Wilson (sports journalist)|Chuck Wilson]], one of the original voices of ESPN Radio. Gottlieb would also fill in on ''[[The Dan Patrick Show]]'', ''[[The Herd with Colin Cowherd]]'' and began hosting ''The NBA Today'' on Sundays. Meanwhile, he also continued to call college basketball games on ESPN's family of networks. He also worked as a studio analyst for [[ESPNews]] during the [[NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament|NCAA tournament]].

Gottlieb was asked by ESPN to help launch [[ESPNU]] from [[Charlotte, North Carolina|Charlotte]]. The fledgling network was a company priority, and based upon his age, his relationship with [[Mike Hall (sportscaster)|Mike Hall]], the host, and the launch being March 3, the heart of college basketball season, Gottlieb accepted the position and stayed in Charlotte for a month.

The next basketball season, Gottlieb became a mainstay on ''[[SportsCenter]]'' and as an analyst on ESPN and ESPN2 games. He caused a stir when he questioned the logic in the Big Ten's officiating crews.{{Citation needed|date=August 2017}} His segment "Point of Contention" was just that, a contentious look at previously untouchable college coaches and issues. On radio, Gottlieb would move to host ''[[The Pulse (radio)|The Pulse]]'' weekday evenings from 8 to 10 [[Eastern Time Zone|Eastern]] before moving to afternoon drive (4 p.m. to 7 p.m. ET). He also served as a college basketball analyst for ESPNEWS and wrote for [[ESPN.com]]. Gottlieb was also a frequent guest on other [[ESPN]] television shows including ''College Basketball Gameday Final''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/espnradio/news/story?page=douggottliebbio|title=Who is Doug Gottlieb?|publisher=ESPN|year=2006|access-date=2007-03-10}}</ref> He occasionally appeared on the shows ''[[SportsNation (TV series)|SportsNation]]'' and ''[[Mike and Mike in the Morning]]'' as a guest host.

Gottlieb and [[Syracuse Orange men's basketball|Syracuse]] 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.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://blogs.fingerlakes1.com/max-power/boeheim-vs-gottlieb/ |title=Max Power's Sports Stash: Boeheim vs. Gottlieb |date=2007-02-28 |access-date=2012-03-06 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318142206/http://blogs.fingerlakes1.com/max-power/boeheim-vs-gottlieb/ |archive-date=2012-03-18 }}</ref>

On July 31, 2012, Gottlieb announced that he was leaving ESPN to join CBS. He served 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newsok.com/gottlieb-jumps-to-cbs-sports/article/3697191|title=Doug Gottlieb jumps from ESPN to CBS Sports Network|publisher=NewOK|year=2012|access-date=2012-08-01}}</ref> Gottlieb co-hosted a nightly television show on CBS Sports Network called ''Leadoff''. His co-host was [[Allie LaForce]], the former Miss Teen USA, who has become CBS' lead sideline reporter for college football. In addition to ''Leadoff'', ''[[The Doug Gottlieb Show]]'' was moved to the new [[CBS Sports Radio]] network. Gottlieb's commentary and conversational interviewing style followed his show from ESPN Radio to CBS Sports Radio.

In 2013, Gottlieb started participating in the CBS Sports Minute on CBS Radio stations throughout the country. In 2014, CBS decided to move the ''Doug Gottlieb Show'' to a TV simulcast format. Essentially canceling ''Leadoff'', Gottlieb's radio show and his longtime producer Adam Klug moved to [[New York City]], where the show was on both radio and television at 3 p.m. Eastern on weekdays.

Beginning in April 2017, Gottlieb worked as a basketball analyst and radio host for Fox Sports.<ref name="jpost.com">{{cite web|url=https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/sports/maccabiah-game-action-concludes-ahead-of-closing-ceremony-499892|title=Maccabiah game action concludes ahead of closing ceremony|website=The Jerusalem Post &#124; JPost.com|date=July 17, 2017 }}</ref> ''The Doug Gottlieb Show'' moved to [[Fox Sports Radio]]. Gottlieb was also an occasional substitute host on [[Fox Sports 1]] (FS1)'s ''The Herd with Colin Cowherd'', replacing original host Cowherd when he was on vacation.

In June 2022, Gottlieb tweeted that [[Casey Close]], the [[sports agent]] for [[Freddie Freeman]], did not present the [[Atlanta Braves]]' final offer to Freeman before he signed with the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]]. Close sued Gottlieb for libel in July.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/34244218/agent-casey-close-sues-fox-sports-radio-host-doug-gottlieb-libel-tweet-contract-offer-los-angeles-dodgers-freddie-freeman|title=Agent sues Fox host for libel over Freeman claim|date=July 14, 2022|website=ESPN.com}}</ref> In September, Gottlieb acknowledged that he was wrong, based on incorrect information that he gathered from his sources, and apologized to Close.<ref>{{cite news|author=Tzvi Machlin |url=https://thespun.com/more/top-stories/doug-gottlieb-admits-he-was-wrong-about-freddie-freeman-report |title=Doug Gottlieb Admits He Was Wrong About Freddie Freeman Report |publisher=[[The Spun]] |date= |accessdate=2022-09-07}}</ref>

== Coaching ==
Along with then-[[Tennessee Volunteers men's basketball|University of Tennessee]] coach [[Bruce Pearl]], Gottlieb helped coach the United States team at the [[2009 Maccabiah Games]]. He coached Team USA in basketball at the [[2017 Maccabiah Games]], winning a gold medal as the USA defeated France in the final in [[Jerusalem]].<ref name="jpost.com" /> He had formerly won a gold medal at the [[Maccabiah Games]] as a player, but said "It is more special to win as a coach."<ref name="jpost.com" /> 

On May 14, 2024, Gottlieb was named the head men's basketball coach at Green Bay.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-14 |title=Doug Gottlieb Named 10th Head Coach in Green Bay Men's Basketball History |url=https://greenbayphoenix.com/news/2024/5/14/doug-gottlieb-named-10th-head-coach-in-green-bay-mens-basketball-history--.aspx |access-date=2024-05-14 |website=University of Wisconsin Green Bay Athletics |language=en}}</ref> He will continue to host his daily radio show.

The team won two of their first five games before going on a losing streak. At a press conference after losing a home game to Milwaukee, he referred to playing perceived weaker teams as "Nobody U". Days later, his team lost to Michigan Tech, a Division II team.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Borzello |first=Jeff |date=2024-12-18 |title=Doug Gottlieb, Green Bay lose to D-II team after 'Nobody U' comment |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/43047108/doug-gottlieb-green-bay-lose-d-ii-team-u-comment |access-date=2024-12-19 |website=[[ESPN.com]] |language=en}}</ref> The Phoenix lost 14 of their first 16 games after a previous season when they lost just 14 games for the [[2023–24 Green Bay Phoenix men's basketball team|entire season]]. By the halfway point of February, they had lost 20 games in a row.

His brother Gregg is an assistant coach for the [[Grand Canyon Antelopes women's basketball]] team. His sister Wendy formerly worked in marketing for the [[Oakland Raiders]] and is currently involved in philanthropy in Northern California.{{cn|date=March 2024}}
