I recently read in "Smart Basketball Officiating" (book from Referee Magazine) that more than one is "showboating" but I am thinking that a real quick double is pretty common out there meaning either A) it's another way we communicate or B) we're all showboating. And then there are times when you have that loose ball scrum that leads to a held ball. One whistle blast aint gonna get it in my opinion.

Thoughts?

Depends, if I have a crash or something crazy, I will do two quick blasts of the whistle. But normally its a short blast.
