No Lanyard

I've got a few more youth sets before the high school season starts...I think it'll become more comfortable as I go, but I like the way it made me slow down, and you're right Jeff, it made me think before I signaled anything about why I blew the whistle and what I was going to call.

When I did this for the first time, it was out of necessity. I went to a off-season game and had forget to put my normal whistle bag in the bag. Well, I had no lanyard and had to work about 3 or 4 games. I did drop it a couple of times, but then I noticed how I slowed down my whistle. I love doing it and if I was able to get away with it, I would do it in a real game. Now it is like playing a video game, you remember the sequence of buttons even if you stopped playing the game for some time.

Peace
