Doris Burke (born Doris Sable on January 4, 1965) is a sideline reporter and color analyst for NBA on ESPN and NBA on ABC games. She is also an analyst for WNBA games on MSG, and has worked on New York Knicks games. Burke was the first female analyst to call a New York Knicks game on radio and television. She played college basketball for the Providence Friars, finishing her career as the school's leader in assists.
Born in West Islip, New York, and raised in Manasquan, New Jersey, Doris Sable was the youngest of eight children. She started playing basketball in the second grade. Her basketball idols growing up were Kyle Macy and Kelly Tripucka.
She played as a point guard at Manasquan High School. She was recruited by several eastern colleges.
She attended Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island. Sable was a member of the Providence Friars women's basketball team, again as a point guard.
During her senior year, Sable led the Big East Conference in assists. She was a second-team All-Big East player once and twice made the all-tourney team of the Big East Women's Basketball Tournament. As a senior in 1987 she was the college's Co-Female Athlete of the Year.
She left Providence as its all-time leader in assists and as of 2012 was still second in that career category. She was later inducted into the Providence College Hall of Fame in 1999, the fifth woman so honored.
