Public Address announcer/ Play by play

[fullor30]

Anyone in Chicago area remember the P.A. guy who did many big games in Public league, shootout double headers, etc?

Most annoying guy you've ever heard. Similar to the And One announcer. LOUD volume, all about him.

HE"S ONLY A SOPH AAAAA MOOORRRE!!!




DARTANAIN JOHNSON TO THE LINE FOR THE THREEEE POINT PLAY!!!!!

We've got one in my area that just looks for things to say.

When there's a dead ball period, you can just see the wheels turning....
"Want to remind you, we'll be here until there's a winner... also, there's hot dogs and soda for sell." "Hey, if you've got a birthday, come on down and we'll announce it for you."

Sometimes It's always brutal.

We have a guy here in my little part of Connecticut who announces the foul immediately after the preliminary signal. As I'm heading to the reporting area I hear, "Big Walnut Tech foul on number eleven, Bobby Smith, his third, team's sixth". It can be very distracting. I only work there once every few years, and I have to ask him to be more patient every time. I guess other officials are not as distracted as me. Of course, I have problems remembering the fouler, and the foulee, under the best of circumstances. Double fouls are a nightmare for me.

There was a guy who did that in college games around here. The only problem is sometimes he'd have the right number and sometimes he wouldn't. Obviously, when he didn't, the coach would go nuts saying "you just called it on someone else. blah blah blah" Those college officials didn't like it too well and lets just say they found a new announcer.

Last yr I finished my FB/JVB set and stayed to watch the V game.

I went into the locker at half time with the officials and among my questions and comments I asked about a particular backcourt call the "PA announcer announced." I said it didn't look that close to me. He looked at me and smiled and said - "That's because I signaled a carry!" Hmmm.....

False Double flagrant on announcer. Play resumes with the two smallest players Rho-Sham-BOing at mid court for ball out of bounds at half court. New announcer call the play by play. I can't find the book reference.

I kinda remember, but was it the two smallest players or captains of the opposing cheer squads???

I do a lot of ball in NYC and this is a common occurrence at all age groups for NON-academic league ball. I actually enjoy it

so, there's no REAL rule against it.

Thanks. That's what I thought.

I disagree. I provided 1-18.. if that's not good enough for you then 2-3.

Ro-sham-bo - A game (usually to solve a dispute) where two men kick each other in the balls as hard as they can. The first person to give up loses.

"That's my duck." "No, I'ts mine" "Fine, let's play ro-sham-bo"
