mcrowder, definitely agreed. I had the opportunity to work a college intra-squad scrimmage in my area and that was one of the main things the official who brought me along told me - get out of the habit of blowing your whistle so much. He said you rarely need to blow it because the players know when the play is over.
HOWEVER - in this situation, I thought that the whistle was *definitely* needed because whether the play was over or not was in question.
