I take pride in my rules knowledge when I call a game. Obviously that comment should not have been made, but the official should ignore it. We ignore parents/fans no problem. Why should an ignorant broadcaster be any different?

And announcing isn't easy, either. It's the same as officiating in that it takes lots of reps to get good at.

I have a friend who can only do 3 man due to knee replacements. He broadcasts games when he isn't working on the floor. He does a great job, but he has a lot of insight, that most do not have or even want to pursue.

That said, the official should not have even acknowledged his presence unless there is table interference occurring.
