KGO sportscaster Mike Shumann resigned Friday, two weeks after taking the jacket of the Warriors’ director of team security while in San Antonio.

“It is with sadness that I announce that ABC7 news and I have decided to amicably part ways after 24 years together,” Shumann said in a statement released by the TV station.

“I regret any embarrassment I have caused the station. My recent actions do not reflect the high standard of conduct expected at KGO. Nor do they represent the integrity with which I have conducted my professional sports and broadcast careers.”

In the same statement, ABC7 President and general manager Tom Cibrowski said: “We thank Mike for his 24 years with the KGO team and wish him all the best.”

The incident happened when Shumann was in San Antonio to cover a Warriors playoff game against the Spurs.

In a video seen by several news organizations, Shumann took Ralph Walker’s jacket after a practice.

Walker is a popular figure among the Warriors’ players and staff. He also provides security beyond the court, sometimes accompanying players to dinners and personal events.

Shumann is a former 49ers wide receiver who was part of the team when it won its first Super Bowl after the 1981 season.
