NFHS referee with a microphone

[Warrenkicker]

I would stick with say offense, defense, kicking team, or receiving team. The one thing you don't want to do is say the other team in the game fouled or even a team's name that isn't in that game that night.

Also don't listen to what you are saying. There is a delay and that will screw you up.

If the event ever happens use the mic to give extra explanations when they will help your situation. When signalling some unusual foul give some explanation surrounding it. I think that people are more satisfied if they understand the reasoning surrounding the call.
