The list of announcing options you provide look fine to me, provided that they stick with the facts, and lay off opinions and editorials. I think it's really as simple as judging sporting/unsporting behavior, nothing more.

This same thing happened in a MS game for me a couple of years ago. My partner and I were doing the last 2 games of a 4-game set and the PA lady was doing play-by-play over the sound system (and I thought Dick Vitale was tough to listen to). I informed the crew at half-time of the second game (they were new officials looking for feedback) that she needs to stick to points/fouls/etc. only. They informed her and she ceased the play-by-play.
