Note to future broadcasters ... an on-air tribute to a dead pet is the WORST time to get fired up over a crazy dunk!!!
Want proof? Check out this clip from a high school basketball team in Minnesota on Nov. 30 (captured by Ross Homan) when one announcer reveals that his dog recently died after being run over by a car.
While making the emotional announcement during a "Gone But Not Forgotten" moment, his co-announcer gets FIRED UP about an aggressive slam dunk happening in real time on the court ... and the exchange is SUPER AWKWARD.
