Well, I agree that he went beyond his authority, I won't go as far as to say an official should never address an announcer. There are times when an announcer's behavior can become an issue.

Several years ago, I was officiating an christian college game. The PA announcer decided to do play by play. The second time that he said, "There's a foul but no call!" I stopped the game and explained that his comments were inappropriate.

Never say never, Downtown.
