We are also encouraged to do this in my area to prevent double whistle

How does the hand signal that you are using prevent double whistles???? It may keep you from having different calls, but I will have trouble believing that it will keep the other official's whistle from blowing just because you have an open palm instead of thumbs up.

My fault for not being clear I meant to prevent conflicting fouls (signals) being given. Obvously this could not prevent a double whistle as one had better have blown the whistle before they have their hand up. Thanks for making me realize my error
