According to the report New York Post, Dan Dakich has been working as a driver at DoorDash for several months as a self-punishable punishment for losing money at a men's basketball tournament NCAA in March last year.
"I come from steel workers, teachers and I have lost sight of the dollar," Dakich told barrettsportsmedia.com. “I woke up at 5:30 am and told my wife that I had to deal with it. Seriously, I went to a hardware store about a mile from my house and applied for a job because I wanted my money back. I owe my family and I lost my dollar value. "
Dakich did not comment on how much he lost. He said he saw his stepson earning $ 25 per hour and started making deliveries himself.
The 58-year-old had a successful basketball career at the University of Indiana under Bobby Knight from 1981 to 1985. He then became one of Knight's assistant coaches after graduation, before finally working as head coach at Bowling Green University in 1997.
He then began a new career in sports media in 2009 when he hosted The Dan Dakich Show on local Indianapolis radio station and ESPN Radio branch. He replaced Steve Lavin as ESPN in college as a basketball commentator and analyst in 2010, but recently said it was unlikely the company would bring him back after he was accused of being a misogynist for comments he tweeted about paid student athletes.
Dakich's Wikipedia page has been changed to "American Basketball Commentator, Door Dasher, and Radio Host."
