Fox 40 Whistle Condoms

[justacoach]

Just got some feedback about the new spit catchers that attach to whistles.

Seems they diminish the volume and result in a sound like sneakers squealing on the court.

Quite a change from the distinct sound of an unmodified Fox 40.

Better buy a few now before officials start hoarding them like people did a few months ago with toilet paper and hand sanitizer.

Can anyone tell me the difference in the mask in the two links? They look the same to me. They also look like they were made for this guy:

They are the same, one's folded, one's not folded.

If it gets to the point where basketball officials will have to wear masks, will state athletic associations (and state governments) really allow high school basketball games (and other sports) to be played?

Won't there be bigger fish to fry if the "plague" is still raging over the next several months, like in-school learning, on-line learning, day care, the economy, and everybody's health?

Sorry, I got the impression it was just a cover for the whistle. Will investigate further and report back.

Was mentioned as made by Fox.

There is one of those. I have seen it on a conference call. I don't know where to get it.

What benefit is that whistle cover in preventing dissemination of droplets from breathing through the mouth and nose?

It's designed to prevent (well, reduce) the droplets from getting in the air to infect others. The same purpose as the "mask with pocket" and the electronic whistle.

It doesn't.

This "spittle bag" just prevents the official from forcibly spraying possibly virus containing respiratory droplets several feet away (possibly more than six feet) when the whistle is sounded.

Remember that sound is nothing more than waves of compressed air, the louder the sound, the more compressed the waves are, the farther the sound travels, and the farther possibly virus containing respiratory droplets can travel from their source, i.e., the lungs via the whistle.

Imagine the red lines in this image represent possibly virus containing respiratory droplet spray.



That's why here in Connecticut the Catholic Church (not the State) isn't allowing singing at masses (even with masks). Singing tends to be louder than regular talking, and can more easily spread possibly virus containing respiratory droplets.

We still haven't opened up bars here in Connecticut. There are many, many reasons why bars seem to be super spreaders of the virus, one of them is the loud talking of people talking over the sound of the music, or loud noise in sports bars. For that reason Connecticut is considering limiting the background noise (no music) in bars once it's decided to open them. Loud talking results in a greater spread of the virus, not observed to the same extent with softer, quieter talking.
