These kids are too fast and athletic for two whistle IMO.
The NBA worked 2-whistle into the late 1980s. I worked some big New Orleans schools 2-whistle in the late 1990s.

It can be done, you run a lot, you miss things you shouldn't, but it can be done. It is done in a lot of places and you do the best you can.
