Not feasible
In theory...perhaps a good idea. In reality, I honestly don't think it would work. How many times have we seen a game where a mechanical failure of some sort holds up the game. Football, basketball, and hockey alike all have many times in a season that there's a 'mechanical' timeout (shotclock, scoreboard, horn...). What if your 'whistle' goes bad with 30 seconds on the clock with a tie game and you don't realize until you need to sound yours to signal that the last second basket wasn't any good...or to call a last second foul...or...well, you get the picture. Something that small and delicate is only prone to problems...and criticism. I don't think it would fly in the world of the Fox 40.
by the way, I'd estimate a good 50 blows per game.
