REPLY: You shouldn't. If the primary official has the call and uses some sort of mechanic to indicate he knows what's going on, leave the whistle to him. If he doesn't blow it, play continues. No reason to try to trump your partner on the whistle in this case.
Other topic...though bagging the spot of an interception has absolutely no rule-based purpose in either Fed or NCAA, I do recall hearing that there is a possibility of that spot being significant in the NFL. I'll research and report back.
