Given that this is totally new territory, this is admittedly a totally unexplored area of concern. One or some of us really ought to dedicate some study to whether this concern is actually valid and come up with training strategies to counter what I fear will be a latent problem waiting in the wings. After years of teaching "patient whistle" with an actual whistle, I'm just not sure I've got it in me to initiate the study and strategies myself.

Easy, watch videos, and give presentations that address that very thing. Do you need only the court to do things like that in the first place? I will say this, I do not know that I ever got officials on a court to teach them something like that unless I was observing them. Officials are going to have to put in the work and do things to learn how to officiate as many veterans are taking the time to get better without an actual court. Never taught anyone only with an actual whistle for how to have a patient whistle, I just show them plays and situations where you can wait for the play to develop. It is more of a mental thing anyway I would think than a physical thing. If you do not know why you are calling something, I can show you something and it will not resonate.
