Yuck. Please don't do this. Please don't encourage this. And SURELY don't say this at your captain's meeting. If you have to say SOMETHING, phrase it like "Protect yourselves until you hear a whistle".
The play kills the play. The whistle is merely the announcement that the play is over, and is sometimes not even necessary. A crew I work with will sometimes go several plays in a row without a whistle at all.
