So this brings up a poll I've been wondering about. In my board, we are required to use a finger whistle in the first year, then are strongly recommended to use one after that. I thought that the "bigtime" referees would use lanyard whistles, but I've begun to notice on TV that it may be about half and half. In the pros, I've noticed that most have both and use both especially umpires. The lanyard whistle, they have in their mouth to quickly stop dead ball fouls, then they spit it out and use the finger whistle for the remainder of the play.
What do you guys use and are there any prevailing ideas about which one should be used?
