Not in basketball.

Not only have I never seen one, I have never heard anyone suggest the use of one.

Basketball is a sport where more things are going on in a much smaller area. You have to stop things "right now" basketball than rather take your time. Of course you have to have a patient whistle at times, but you need to also stop things immediately. I know several people that use them in football, but I have never heard that it would be acceptable in basketball. Also in basketball we have to use both hands for signaling at times and having one of those whistles would cause a problem now and then.

Peace
