Rather than call it a delayed whistle, we refer to them as "patient". I see nothing wrong with a patient whistle when the action is in the grey coverage area, or when you are calling something a little out of your primary. If every whistle you blow is patient, however, you will look a little less confident in your game to many coaches. For example, on a block/charge call I like to be right on it with my whistle because you know one team is probably not going to like the outcome so I want to look as sure as I can.
