Taking a knee - then throw a TD

I am a newer official with approximately 30 varsity games, about 50 junior high and jv games, and about 35 youth games under my belt. In my approximate 120 games I have never heard an official tell the defense the QB is going to take a knee.

It's a regional thing. I learned to officiate football in the south and we'd never do it. It's done where I live now.

I hate to say it, but I'd probably have myself a little IW if the QB announced to me and the world that they were taking a knee and then didn't.
