Seems to me that the official had too much time on his hands. Personally, when I am working a game, I have plenty of things to watch and be aware of...the words of any announcer would not be on that list. As long as the announcer is not being derogatory or inciting the fans in the stands, then the official should have absolutely nothing to say. In my opinion, this official should be spoken to (quietly and privately, of course) by someone of authority within the organization.
