Ejected Announcer

[waltjp]

First quarter of a kids game yesterday I had to explain to the chain crew that they are an extension of the officiating crew and that they were not to comment or question what was happening on the field. Of course, my explanation might have come off sounding like harsh words to those that don't know me better. Simply put, I told them that they were there to do a job. Cheering is okay but I do not want to hear any 'coaching' from them and I certainly do not what to hear them question why we threw or didn't throw a flag.
