If I'm reporting a foul and there is a technical seen by my partner while I am reporting, I would want him (or her - see Juulie, I'm learning) to blow the whistle immediately even if I am in the middle of a sentence. I can always repeat what I have said if the scorer doesn't hear me.
Blowing the whistle tells everyone not to do anything else, and that's the point.
