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.
If that is true, then address that issue. Otherwise I do not see this as a problem. I have never really been in a game where there is play-by-play at the high school level for sure. Usually they comment on who made a basket and who fouled. Otherwise I do not even notice them. And when the game gets close, I really do not hear them. But to just make a rule for the last seconds when it would be a similar problem in the middle of the game seems to overreach.

Peace
