Gus Johnson to call Bucks Games

[Pounce Needs Pals]

Rise and fire, Milwaukee Bucks fans, Gus Johnson is heading your way.

The Fox Sports announcer has been hired by the NBA franchise (and Fox Sports Wisconsin) to call 20 Bucks games during the 2015-16 NBA regular season. As of yet, Johnson does not know the specific games he will call, but he said in an interview on Monday afternoon that they’ll be a mix of home and away games. Johnson will call the NBA games in between his college football and college basketball assignments for Fox Sports 1.


Marques Johnson will be involved with 55 telecasts this season and Gus Johnson will call 20 games. That will leave 35 games for Marques Johnson and Jim Paschke. Jon McGlocklin will handle about 25 games as analyst.

I don't really care what he does as long as it isn't soccer. That was brutal.

I feel the same about Paschke and McGlocklin as I do about Uecker. I know the end is coming for them, but I just hope they stay on long enough to see a title.
