I only use one in the summer or off-season games. It does slow you down and makes you have to think about why you are blowing the whistle and having to make sure you do not drop the whistle after the call.

I always use a lanyard during the high school and college games. I can tell you that it is big time frowned upon in Illinois. I know some people that have been held back over this issue. I will not tell you what you need to do and maybe you are good enough to overcome that stigma, but it is seen as an NBA thing. And that is the case even in the region if you work college ball.

Peace
