Around here, the association keeps telling us to not blow the whistle if you can't "see leather..." As a result, some plays do not have a whistle to end action... Yet, somehow, players know that the ball is down, start unpiling, and head back to their huddles... You'd be surprised how often there is no whistle...
If you want officials to pound on the whistle as soon as the play is dead, then be prepared for 5-20% of your plays being ended by inadvertent whistles...
