Douglas Mitchell Gottlieb (born January 15, 1976) is a former NCAA collegiate and professional (USBL) basketball player, as well as a basketball analyst and sports talk radio host. He now works for FOX Sports after tenures with ESPN and CBS Sports.
After signing a national letter of intent with 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. However, Gottlieb's stint at Notre Dame would be short due to drug problems. Gottlieb left Notre Dame after an incident where he stole a fellow classmate's credit card and used it to charge multiple purchases. This evolved into a national scandal and resulted in substantial backlash. Gottlieb transferred away from the Notre Dame program as a result of the credit card scandal.
After leaving Notre Dame, Gottlieb then transferred to Golden West College (GWC) where he received an Associate of Arts in business. Despite offers from Cincinnati, 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 Coach Tom McCluskey, and Gottlieb took on the role of 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, Ground was ejected, and Gottlieb coached the team to an overtime loss.
Gottlieb was perceived to be waiting on Baron Davis to choose a school, as UCLA and Georgia Tech both expressed that Gottlieb was their second choice to Davis. After Davis chose UCLA, a school in which Gottlieb's family had season tickets to 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, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Oklahoma State, Utah, Oregon and 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 NCAA tournament.
