The only time a coach can have a complaint about that is if the home team is gaining an advantage via the PA system. We had such a situation last year. Home team is on defense and the PA announcer is giving play-by-play action as if he's a radio announcer. During the play we hear something like "He gives to Smith, IT'S A REVERSE...." You get the picture. The defense was gaining an advantage and my referee told the coach it had to stop immediately or a USC could be called against the home team. Some of you may disagree with our actions but we believe as a crew it was the appropriate thing to do.
