I use a "staccato" whistle mainly on violations or when a call is made away from the ball or isn't obvious.
As for a whistle tip, a good friend of mine worked a game w/ Jim Burr last year...Burr said the shorter your whistle, the more confident you sound in your call. Not sure that I agree 100% on that, but since Burr has worked 14 of the last 16 Final Fours (or something like that), I'll defer to his advice...
