I'm not sure what you're looking for -- it's not that complicated as I see it.

If I'm one of the other two officials and I hear a whistle (from another official or the crowd), I like to hope I'm shutting things down. If I blow a whistle inadvertently, I'm shutting it down.

What else is there?

BNR was much more succinct.
