I use it during AAU season to help stay away from bad habits but not during the regular season because it doesn't work with Precision Time.
As for spitting it across the floor, I've never seen anyone do that after they had mastered it. it doesn't take that many games to do so. For me, it was remembering to grab it when I started to talk to someone, not after I blew it.
If there are those that don't like it, fine. But there's no reason to sterotype/criticize those that do. it's just a preference.

I started the thread out of curiosity why someone would NOT use a lanyard. I agree with JR, that patience is patience and is not dictated by lanyard or not. I have an official friend who has really mastered it, and I'm still amazed that he's that smooth although he does say from time to time, he drops it or bumbles it.
I prefer a smitty and someone asked me why the other night and I have to admit that a few years back, I was trying to emulate a few refs I admire.
I submit that's the main reason the no lanyard.........all style.
