Personally, if I hear an IW, (usually sounds like someone shot a bird), then I back it up with my own whistle. Sometimes you see the players and they don't know wether to keep going or to stop. So I always back up an IW with my own and stop the play on the spot.
We had one a couple weeks ago in flag, the ball carrier thought his flags were pulled and called TO, so the WH blew his whistle, then the ball carrier realized he still had his flags, so he runs down the sideline for a TD. Guess what? Your ball where the whistle blew.
