I was trained to whistle when the ball attains OOB status. It doesn't do so until it touches something OOB, even if it's on a high bounce and doesn't touch anything until it's 10 feet OOB.
That way, I don't have to wait beats or think of other extraneous considerations. I whistle to signal that the ball has become dead.
