Gus Johnson, whose famously excited style made him a signature voice of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament for more than a decade, has left CBS, SI.com reported Thursday.
The surprising news comes as Johnson prepares to call Saturday’s Manny Pacquiao-Shane Mosley bout for Showtime’s pay-per-view production.
SI said Johnson and CBS parted ways after being unable to come to contract terms. Johnson left MSG before the current basketball season for that reason.
