If I use a lanyard, I use a noose made by smitty. It stays up real tight and doesn't fall down. Mostly I prefer not to use one at all. Some people don't approve of not using a lanyard. One official accused me of trying to look like an NBA ref. I told him when I was 19 I started officiating BB in the military. Good extra money and it got me out of some crappy details. That's when I saw another ref give thrown to the ground by his lanyard. Never wore one again until the little smitty came out. I just don't like the way they look and tug on my shirt. To each his own.
