Other whistle tips:
Don't have it in your mouth when you toss the jump ball.
Find out what the local view is on whistles for bringing in subs...in my area it's a no-no.
Don't blow it on every throw-in.

Just don't hold it too loosley b/c the one time you go to blow it and it pops out without a "tweet", good luck finding it and making the call once transition has started the other way...I've done it, not fun....but better than not calling an obvious foul, for instance..
