Announcer Ejected for Describing Action with His Hands

[Norm Peterson]

This is nuts.  The Play-by-Play guy for  Wisconsin GB gets tossed from a Horizon League semifinal game b/c the ref apparently thought he was gesturing at the ref's call on a foul.  But listening to the audio, the announcer wasn't saying anything about it being a bad call, he was just describing the action.

 

But the ref apparently has hands the size of Adam Woodbury and felt his manhood had been challenged and so he kicked the Play-by-Play guy out of the game.  Ejected him.  Nuts.

Listening to the audio, I'm glad we have a pro like Kent P doing our games.  You get so much clearer of a visual picture of the action when Kent does the games than with so many other announcers I've heard, including the guy from Wisconsin GB.

Love their voices though.
