whats so hard about remebering it? I dont use a lanyard (on most occasions) so i've got an extra lanyardless whistle in my pocket I was doing the swithcero and my mentor took my back-up whistle away from me for two reasons... one If I referee without a lanyard I should NEVER drop my whistle (If your gunna do it, do it right) and two remeber it in your head or rely on your table crew. Also, if you dont use a lanyard superviors tend to not like the stuffing it in pocket or wasit band idea. Hold it. NBA has an excuse because they have numbers larger than 5 but i've seen alot of officials hold ten fingers up with a whilse in the hand... for a drafting project im working incorperating some sort of clip or something to put the whistle on a waist band, pocket edge, and not interefere with the whistle. If it goes well I'll submit it to Fox40. Also thought about something that would fit on ur finger like a ring and when when take the whistle out of ur mouth it'd "clip" onto something on the whistle and hold it incase u needed all 10 fingers free. I know I know, wouldnt it be easier to use a lanyard? probably. I've just gotten so used to refereeing without one.
