University of Pittsburgh Athletics
Pitt Athletics Hall of Fame
Bill Hillgrove
- Induction:
- 2024
Bill Hillgrove and Dick Groat formed one of the most beloved sports broadcasting duos in Pittsburgh history, calling Pitt men's basketball games on the radio from 1979 to 2019. Reflecting their iconic status, Hillgrove and Groat are the first inductees into the Pitt Athletics Hall of Fame who did not play or coach for the Panthers. Hillgrove has been the play-by-play voice for Pitt basketball since 1969. He was Pitt football's color analyst from 1970-73 before taking over play-by-play duties for the 1974 season. Hillgrove has received three of the most prestigious awards in sports broadcasting: the Lindsey Nelson Award, Chris Schenkel Award and Woody Durham Voice of College Sports Award.
