Early life

Rothstein grew up in Mahopac, New York.[2] His mother, Andrea, was a special education teacher, and his father, Barry, was a guidance counselor.[2] Rothstein credits his father with spurring his passion for college basketball.[2]

He studied sports media at Ithaca College,[3] and interned for YES Network while still in college.[2] Ithaca has recently recognized Rothstein as a distinguished alumnus in sports.[1]

Career

In 2004, despite having no connections in the sports industry, Rothstein won a contest and was able to do some on-air reporting for ESPN Radio in New York City.[2] He also made money cold-calling for a mortgage company, and eventually saved enough money to buy a once-weekly radio slot on a small New Rochelle radio station.[2] He struggled to sell ads for the show, but eventually received a job offer at MSG Network in 2007. He moved to CBS Sports in 2010.[2]

Rothstein is known for his networking skills and his pithy, unique tweeting style.[2]
