The debate will rage on in basketball about late vs. quick whistles. Always know what you are calling. Anticipate the play, not the call. I've been burned with too quick of a whistle. "32 white, thats on you, " then lower voice to him , "bad call"
At the same time assignors are looking for officials that have confidense with the whistle. Are you calling the foul as it happens or are you waiting for the play to develope further. Can you blow the whistle with .05 seconds of the ball touching a line? Call volleyball and get some practice. Have a slow whistle on the the roubounding action before the shot goes in. Have quick whistle when the foul is obvious.
