I agree only covering officials and most of the time it should be the wings at that. U and R should rarely have to blow their whistles. Only time I do from R is if I know that ball is down and the wings have not blown theirs. It tells me they did not see the ball and someone needs to blow one before the something gets out of hand. Off officials should never blow theirs unless they are trying to get players away from the play to stop. Then I usually will talk to them but if they don't hear me I will toot the whistle as most players are conditioned to go till they hear a whistle.
