If you do have an IW or even hear one you had better get your bean bag down because that spot is important. The whistle may not have been from one of the officials in that game but if it did affect the play then it is an IW. I quit keeping the whistle in my mouth a few years ago and while it can be harder to run while holding it in one hand I like it better than holding in my mouth were if I just breathe wrong I can blow it. There aren't that many situations where a quick whistle is important. The play always kills itself and your whistle only reflects that. This season we have at least 1 or 2 plays every Friday where nobody blows a whistle because those of us who do (U doesn't ever) blow them couldn't see the ball when it became dead. The players know that the play is over. Now on a lower level game it is common to hear 2 or 3 guys blowing plays dead.
