I remember our Freshman HS English teacher stopping the recording of A Merchant of Venice early. Shakespearean insults and innuendo would probably get Coach in trouble with the administration.
I can see why “jabberwocky!” would be a good audible call. You sure aren’t going to mistake it for anything else. Plus, it’s got good loud consonants to cut through the noise.

“Poor Yorick, poor Yorick” or “My gorge rises” all legitimate Shakespeare stuff.

(wonders, offhand, if any high school is going to start using “Cthulhu” and “Yog-Sothoth” for audibles.)

Well, that would help the athletes at least sound literate.

“Nevermore” would be good. “Albatross” also, or maybe “Ginga Din”.
