BTW, if everybody in a region uses a whistle on subs, the guy who doesn't is drawing unneccessary attention to himself by withholding it.

It has also been established that any state can use variations of mechanics from the NF book. So for anyone to suggest that we must look only at the NF book, they have never talked to anyone from the NF office, because they do not see things that way at all.
Secondly, the NF book does not cover all situations. I am still waiting for the reference in the book that says "you cannot use the whistle in any substitution situation." If someone can show a passage or similar passage, then I will believe them when they say this is against NF mechanics. Even in the CCA Men's book it does not address this, but I have been told many times to blow the whistle and have witnessed the whistle being blown on substitutions in person watching D1 officials.
