My understanding is that the only time you have to blow your whistle on a throw-in situation is after a time out or start of a new quarter.
Someone once said they do it so that everyone is aware you are going to put the ball into play. A good argument?

This is a good question for all of you seasoned officials out there. When do you blow a whistle to bring a ball back into play?

As was mentioned earlier, normally only need to blow your whistle on a throw-in after a timeout or to start a new quarter. Also after any unusual delay in getting things going again, such as player injury, player loses a contact, coach-referee conference, if the ball rolls out hte doorway and halfway down the hall, etc... Although come to think of it, most all these things fall under some sort of timeout (team or official) so may be the original rule pretty much covers most cases.
