More Knowledgeable Announcers

Last night on my way home I happened across a girls state final on the radio. Home team was up 6 in the last 2 minutes. Then, tragedy struck. The same official called two charging fouls on the home team, waving off two baskets, plus another holding foul on an "obvious jump ball." "Unbelievable" "Horrible" "Horrendous" calls, all three of them. One guy said, "I'm not a homer, I'm just watching the game. Not sure what this guy (the official) was doing." After all this injustice, the game is tied.

The game went to overtime, which was set up by this experienced crew of broadcasters. "Let's see. Not sure whose ball it will be on the alternating possession, or maybe they'll jump it up. I don't know the procedure for overtime."
