A) I never touch the part of the whistle that goes in my mouth during the game, so sanitary reasons really don't apply. When the game is over it goes into a ziplock (the greatest invention in history), so it doesn't really mingle with the sweaty stuff.

B) I don't know what a reasonable price is but it would have to be cheap enough to buy two. I never walk on the floor without two whistles, and those don't have any mechanical parts. If you expect the schools to buy them, I think it would be worse than officials trying to maintain their own. Look at how well scoreboards work.

C) Would it recharge or be battery operated? I think multiple batteries would add uneeded size and weight and would make me go broke replacing them. Can you see an official time out with 9 seconds to go in a tied game to replace the batteries?

Decent theory, but in this case I think fox has the better mousetrap. Try the NBA, they always like new toys + they can afford them.
