Just woundering? Why do you need to have a spare whistle, ever since they came up with the Fox 40? I can understand a spare lynard, but only if you are using a smitty. Just asking no biting of the head off now.
I carry a bunch of spare whistles in my bag. Three times in the past few years I have had a partner show up with no whistle (left it at home). I carry spare lanyards, too. Also a pair of black sweat pants (had to use them only once, thank goodness) shoelaces, towel, rule and case books, pump and needle, scoreboard controller cable (they're somewhat universal), cell phone and socks.
About 7 or 8 years ago, I had a partner bite completely through his whistle during a game. I guess he was really tense about something.
