I had an evaluator tell me that if he ever caught anyone doing the whistle switch, that official would never work a game for him ever again.

It's nice that this evaluator has soooo many people lined up to work for him. Glad I'm not one of them.

Well, don't move to Oregon, then, if you want to work college games. No one here will put up with it.

No plans to. If I move back to the NW, it will be back to Seattle (I took that season off from basketball as I had surgery on my ankle and I moved after one year, so no hoops there, lots of baseball, though).
I don't even carry a spare whistle on the court, anyway. I rarely even look at the arrow on an alternating possession -- I keep that little bit of info right in my head.
I'm just tired of evaluators in certain areas of the country that care more about this crap than how well you officiate a game. Fortunately for me, I don't live in such a place.
