What do we deem an "unusual delay"?

I agree with those above and will most likely continue to blow before I inbound the ball (especially in the front court) on every inbounds unless told contrary by a supervisor/assignor.
You'll know an unusual delay when one occurs.

As for the whistle on the end line inbounds, it's a NCAA-W mechanic, and apparently a pro mechanic as well. I did it for a while in my HS games, and it didn't cause problems. I don't do it now, and I have the same lack of problems. So I'm going to stick with not in my HS games.

When in Rome.
