And I do not feel this will change much of anything anyway. It will be noted but many people will do what they were taught because an IW is a lot worse then a situation when a whistle is not blown and players are continuing on some level. But usually most players stop on their own when it is clear the play is over. Even a late whistle often does not stop players, they already stopped. It is really much to do about nothing if you ask me. I will wait to see if this is even addressed at our meetings this pre-season.

Peace
