I tried the "noose" lanyard a couple of times but I switched to the "break away" lanyard after coaches were telling that I wasn't using the "noose" lanyard properly,  .
As far as officials (NFHS, NCAA, FIBA, and NBA/WNBA) that do not use a lanyard at all, my opinion is this: It looks sloppy as the dickens. And I do let partners that do not use a lanyard what my position is on the matter.
