Thanks F-man
That's why I do whistle the end of TO's, at least in HS matches (I don't in JH).
But I can understand why people don't. It's pretty silly to do isn't it? And under the rules when does a time out end, if both teams are on the court before the :60 are up?
By using the whistle are you not saying that the teams are ready to serve? So what if you have a sub coming in legally, or a Libero replacement after the TO? Do I do my business, then blow the whistle so everyone at the concession stand sees we are readys to play, since everyone in the gym sees it? And if we are using multiple courts in the same facility, doesn't that just add an unecessary whistle to a situation with too many whistles already?
Yes, the guy who is up will see all this, and not call for serve until he sees everything is ready. So I ams asking is the something the Rules committee ought to look at changing, or is there some rationale that mekes more sense for doing this other than "The Manual says you do it."
