Easy. PA announcers treating the game as though it’s an And-1 mix tape and, my guess is, a few others commenting on calls. Someone called Indianapolis and the rest is NFHS rule history.

I had a BV game near the end of the ’11-12 school year where there was a student handling the PA and he was basically doing play-by-play during the action as though we were in the park. I told him to stop and he said no one had complained about it all season, which I can believe.
