We discussed this quite a bit in our meetings last week. As a safety thing, we have been told by the state rules interpreter to shut it down if there's an invalid fair catch signal as soon as possession is attained.

Horrible advice by the interpreter. It is shut down by rule. The whistle is no quicker than on a valid fair catch made by R.
How many inexperienced officials are going to hear that as "I better blow a quick whistle and "protect" the receiver?"
An IW waiting to happen....
