I have had many college officials say that the late whistle is a great way to go about it. What are some other opinions?
A "patient" whistle is not a "late" whistle, as Snaqs said.

Sometimes you just have to trust your partner if it's his call. And if it's his call, he should have the patient whistle, not you.

Btw, if you were both watching the shooter and defender, who was watching the other eight players?
