If you can see the foot out of bounds, process what you saw, then blow your whistle essentially before a ball carrier can travel two steps, then I would venture to say that you are most likely working with the whistle in your mouth....Be very very careful here as that can tend to lead to inadvertant whistles, and we all know that the only whistle that makes a live ball a dead ball is an IW......JMO
