Needless to say, I didn't want the lanyard just flapping around when I was running so I took the lanyard off and did strickly the whistle (Just had to remember not to spit the whistle out when making a call). In watching the game tape, you can see me holding the whistle in my hand on dead ball situations in a couple of occasions.

Many NBA officials work sans lanyard all the time. Some tuck the whistle in their waistline when it isn't in their mouth. Steve Javie comes to mind.
