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.

I’m 99.9% certain the PA announcer being a student is the only reason the BV thing happened in my game. He probably did the running commentary in the park during the summer and thought it was okay. My guess is he didn’t do PA for every BV game – I’d have to think someone in stripes would’ve told him to stop before I did…in February. But now I do remember mentioning it to a couple of officials that offseason and getting responses like, “Oh yeah, that kid, yeah, I let him do it.” Gee guys, thanks.
