The only time I have more than one "teet" is with tangled players in a held ball situation, players coming together after play should be stopped, or if my partner(s) and I are about to do something stupid like start play with 11 players on the court.

I like to close in with a whistle in the first two cases because it helps keep things under control. Hard to think about wrestling or fighting with a Fox 40 going off near by.

I do tend to control the strength and length of my single blast though.

I have a softer "teet" when I'm near the bench or table area and when I'm about to administer the throw-in after a TO or intermission.

I have a longer "teet" if the call was an A T & T and I had to close, it's a secondary and I'm getting it late, or if it is granting a time out request.
