With my new position within the confines of the NFHS I have been able to attend 11 high school football games this year. And I get to see them from the SIDELINES. This unobstructed view has taught me an important mechanic.
From the first game I noticed the very best way to eliminate the fateful IW.
Officials in Oregon are being trained to NOT have the whistle in their mouths during the play. Only at plays end do they place the whistle in their mouth to blow the play dead.
Each of the three IWs that I have seen this year the offending official has run with the play with whistle in mouth.
I think this simple mechanic is a great help in making sure the whistle is blown at the correct time.
