I'll assume 3 whistles. I flex often early, but when it becomes clear that they're doing a lot of skip passes and keeping the ball out of the paint, I tend to wait a bit more. I'll look for one of three things.
1. The C starts a 5 second count.
2. Someone starts dribbling in the C's primary.
3. The ball drops below the FT line.
These aren't perfect, but I don't know how much benefit is gained by continuously moving from one side of the lane to the other.
I'd be curious what others say, though.
