I think the majority of starting officials have a very quick whistle. It is driven by the fact that they want to appear competent and "on top of it." They lack the confidence to hold the whistle until the play runs its coarse.

It takes an extremely late whistle to be questioned. If the "delay" allows you to see the whole play, you can make the right call and be confident with it.
