It seems as though too many officials have quick whistles which can get you in to trouble, and I don't necessarily mean from the coaches, but from the way a game should be called in general.
That's a completely different discussion, one that I'll be gald to have if you want to start a separate discussion.

But once the foul, NOT CONTACT, occurs, there's no reason to wait for anything else.
