In that regard, he's like Dick Vitale, if you took all of the "suck" out of Dick Vitale. (Vitale's enthusiasm about college basketball is really the only thing I like about him. It's clear he really loves the sport, even as he suckles at the teat of everyone and everything famous)
I would say contextual over-excitement. In the tourney and big games I enjoy listening to him, but run-of-the-mill games not so much. Maybe it's cause my outlook towards games such as...say @Charlotte is a more workman-like mentality, which doesn't jive with trademarked Raftery exclamations.

but that's just me.
