While in many cases it probably wasn't needed, it can be helpful. I am pretty sure you have experienced a loud gym or two when you blow the whistle and the players kept playing since they could not hear it. It can help avoid ugly situations like this that might occur after the whistle.

Yes...needed at times, but, if you watched the game, there were times it was definitely not needed.....way overdone.

Big crash, bodies down, obvious foul, everyone expects a call...tweet tweet...tweet tweet...tweet tweet...tweet tweet...then a call. Completely unnecessary.
