I do not think the Referee should be blowing the whistle at all on PATs or FGs for this very reason. It should not be a thought process in your head to even have to talk to yourself about what kind of play it is. Let the BJ or people under the uprights blow their whistle as they are the ones that will likely have the ball in their area and need to know they are responsible for the play continuing or being ruled dead most of the time. All the Referee can do is screw this up as they are thinking one thing and killing the play when it is not appropriate.

BTW, I have done both mechanics as a Referee and BJ and I think you letting the BJ blow the whistle all the time is better and will not create an expectation to do something that will cause an IW.

Peace
