Four little words are all it would have taken for Don Hall to not only produce the pinnacle of a long career in Public Address announcing, but he also would likely have been fired at halftime . . . so close . . .
When Alex Lomax checked into the game late in the first half, and Don Hall announced "Alex Lomax into the game for Memphis", but Lomax had headed back to the bench for a second and Hall did indeed say "No, he's not", and that produced a funny moment - but, if he just would have added "He changed his mind." - they could just give him the Emmy for broadcast excellence on the spot.
So close . . .
