I need some advise on whistles for linesman. What do you guys do at the snap if you have the nearest man off the line? If punch with one arm, and have the other on the flag in case of a false start, then I am slow to the whistle on a false start. I'm thinking of keeping the whistle in my mouth for the false start, then holding it in my hand when the play starts. I've even heard of some having two whistles; one on finger for the false start, and one on a lanyard for the play. Thoughts?
