There was a foul. You saw it. Coach saw it. Get the whistle back in your mouth as soon as possible, and sound it, as loud as you can. It can't take that long, can it? If the other coach complains, tell him that you accidentally spit out your whistle.

I once started a period as the nonadministering official and happened to be standing right in front of the coach. She politely asked me a simple question and I responded with a simple answer. Then I forgot to put the whistle back in my mouth. Seconds later the ball goes out of bounds on my endline. My partner was kind enough to sound her whistle. Thanks partner.
