There
was a guy who did that in college games around here. The only problem is sometimes he'd have the right number and sometimes he wouldn't. Obviously, when he didn't, the coach would go nuts saying "you just called it on someone else. blah blah blah" Those college officials didn't like it too well and lets just say they found a new announcer.
