Funny, but I've never had an IW since I learned to get the whistle out of my mouth after the snap.

I've still had one where there was a pile going nowhere and I could see the who had the ball and ASSUMED (that's a bad word) he still had the ball. The whistle was blown to prevent anyone from taking any cheap shots on the pile and to stop the blocking going on around the pile for safety reasons. Your advice is spot on but it can still result in an IW in the effort to apply safety. We are all human. You are a better man if you've never had one.
P.S. GO BISON!
