I'll make you laugh--earlier this year I put the fist up to call an offensive foul from the C, realized I probably antiicpated it, and then passed on the crash by not hitting the whistle and putitng my fist down quickly. Had a good chuckle with the coach who asked me why I didn't call the charge and I confessed how I locked up; the only guy in the gym who knew what I did had to be him, right?
Patient whistle is exceptionally difficult. Probably the longest 0.25 second difference in the world, but you cannot be late on off-ball or big stuff. Combine that with the regular errors we make, while always practicing the patient whistle is impossible, the more often you can do it, the better off you are.
