I worked multiple AAU games at a tourney last weekend. There were 4 courts going at once, side by side, with no partitions. The games were 17U - 13U boys, all with noisy and enthusiastic (yeah right) parents and coaches.
These are not the usual circumstances for a college or pro ref, or even most HS refs. However, in this situation, with many whistles and continuous noise, my partner's "hand up" was very helpful in determining if it was actually HIS whistle. The most communication difficulty I had was with a partner who did not stop clock with hand up (nor did he make eye contact). Not a college ref, but a lazy HS one.
