This is not about ego, this is about being in the game. Again, I have had people not change the whistle in their pocket because they were tending to other things. So if it is the default as you suggest, it can be a mistake just like the table, the scoreboard or the official with the whistle made.

All I am saying is be into the game. Because if you use it as a default and you make a mistake, how do you solve the problem? I do not know about you, but many held balls are not things I am not paying attention to other things. And also think it looks bad to constantly be fidgeting with your pockets as if you do not have to pay attention to players or the benches during this time frame. Or even better yet, someone thinks something else about you going into your pockets all the time.

Peace
