I carry two Fox and one mini to all games.

I'm a lanyard guy. I called last night with a guy that doesn't use a lanyard. I tried that, about 10yrs ago, when my smitty broke. Ended up spitting my whistle on the floor every call......
Funny I worked a juco game last night with a guy who did that (no lanyard)...I don't understand it, I know some old NBA guys did that, but I don't see the point? Is it just to get that "look"? Seems sort of silly....

What does the mini-fox sound like, I have never used one? What about the dolphin, that thing never really took off did it? I got two of them as promos a year or two ago, I have yet to use one in the game b/c none of my partners has ever had one....not to mention you can never tell which end is up without looking at the damn thing!
