What about the "Unsportsmanlike" at the 10! Next year he doesn't set the record. I believe it will be 1 & 10 at the 25!
Wow, some of you guys really like to nitpick your fellow officials...
His announcements were much clearer than most that is for sure. As articulate as he is i would guess he started as a back judge.
On a somewhat similar topic, is it common for the R to have a microphone in regular season games in Texas?
In the larger districts, yes. Although I know of at least one large district where the AD does not like them so they don't have them.
Some schools have them and some do not. It does not matter about classification. Some 5A stadiums will not have them and some 2A stadiums will. Then you are also pot luck on whether it works or not.
Too common unfortunately.
Some 1A and I read at least 6 man venues will mic you up nowadays...
I ask because it is still fairly uncommon in Arkansas. Some schools have them but the majority do not. I've seen a few times where Rs struggle a little with their announcements, but I think it's because they don't have much practice using them.
I used to work with a white hat who would turn the mic on and off when making announcements even when he wasn't wearing one. He would put his beanbag where the on/off switch would normally be and turn that on and off.
I have a feeling any evaluators would be most displeased if I start turning my beanbag on and off.
