Announcing Penalties

[bossman72]

Guys,

If you (R) do not have a microphone at the game, and you are giving the signals for any penalty, do you still call out the penalty as if you had a mic, or do you just stay silent and give the hand signals?

Just curious.

Thanks

PS- you guys will be getting a lot of basic questions from me this season. i'm a baseball umpire and will be migrating to football in a few years, so i'll occasionally poke my head in here to ask some questions to get a leg up for when i go do this for real.
