Names mentioned on radio?
In my nearly 100 games of broadcasting high school football, I have never mentioned the names of the officials. A colleague of mine said he does it during the pregame show of every game, but never uses their names again. I've always been a believer that if you mention the name of the official after a perceived bad call, you also mention it after a good, crucial call. But with all I do, I usually don't make time to get the officials' names. I'm curious about the officials' preferences. Would you want your name announced on the radio?
