Try this: put the whistle in your mouth, bite it or hold it with your lips, and then when a held ball occurs, whistle while raising your hands. When you lower your hand(s), you can remove the whistle if you desire. It's very effective, especially for those of us who don't have three hands!
brianbrain, just because I go sans lanyard, it doesn't mean that I can't put the whistle in my mouth. I can put it in my mouth. I can remove it to address a player or a coach. I can hold it if I desire. I remove it with my hand when the ball is dead, just as you let yours fall out of your mouth. There's not a call I can't make. If it's out, I put it in and whistle. Simple as that. NBA officials don't seem to have a problem doing it. Do you think David Stern would allow them to do it if it was a problem?
Don't be so closed minded to things. Open up and you may even learn something.
