Starting as a basketball official 16 years ago, I've always been partial to a whistle with a lanyard.
2 reasons I hate the finger whistle:
(1) Two handed mechanics, like stopping the clock or signaling an incomplete pass. Looks awkward when the official starts signaling with one hand.
(2) Feels funny on my hand.
Anyhow, I do what others here talk about -- I put the whistle in my mouth and then let it drop on the snap. Unless I have to run hard, I'll take the whistle and hold it in my hand until it needs to be blown. Best of both worlds.
