The coaches knew exactly what was going on. The announcer didn't. And unfortunately, I think the fans thought we were idiots. Sigh....

Had a situation similar to this happen two years ago where the PA announcer wanted to give his opinion on something. The white had made it very clear to the head coach that the PA announcer was to do nothing more the rest of the game than give descriptions of the play.
