According to the NFHS official's manual, the administering official that is resuming play shall blow the whistle in three instances. After a charged time-out, to start a quarter or half, and after a long delay. Knowing this, here's my question.

How many of you blow the whistle when we are resuming play with FTs after a time-out? The mechanic I use is step in, signal the number of throws, hit my whistle and then bounce the ball to the shooter. Do you guys follow this same routine or do you do something different?

I'm looking forward to your responses.
