Can someone tell me where I may purchase those possesion arrow indicators that attach to the bottom of the whistles?
|
Never knew those existed, but will be something I'd be interested in also. Since an AP screw-up a year or so ago, I've relied on moving extra whitsle from one pocket to the other after each AP throw-in. For example: Facing table, whistle in left pocket, ball going in direction of whistle.

At the JV/V level, I've rarely had a problem with it. The table crew is usually more experienced, which helps a lot. When a problem does pop up, the stack isn't usually so deep that I can't accurately recall the sequence since the last known correct application of the arrow. |
I don't know about where you guys are....
...but in this area, we are not even allowed to do the whistle in the pocket thing let alone have something dangling from our whistle. Keep it in your head and get it right is the philosophy here.

Love2ref4Ever: The item you you are describing is call the Flip Switch. The only place I ever saw them advertised was in Referee Magazine, and I have not seen them advertised in Referee for at least a couple of years. But I did buy two of them the first time I saw them advertised. They are compatible only with the full size Fox 40s (sometimes called the Classic Fox 40). I put them in two of my whistles and only use them for rec. league games, team camps, and such, where there are no AP Arrows. The Flip Switch does alter the sound slighty of the whistle. I know that some officials move an extra whistle back and forth between pockets. Do not get into that habit. Work on remembering which way the AP Arrow is supposed to be. MTD, Sr. |
I've used a small rubberband (the type kids wear with braces) on my pinkie. Easy to move around, and no one can notice it.

Just wondering-would you let a player wear a small rubberband on their pinkie? |

I use a Hickory Farms Beefstick in my pocket for a possession indicator.

Is that the little subby ones or the big 3-footers. Then you've got a snack after the game to go with your adult beverage! What a great idea Mark!;) |
I wear my cross when I officiate. Of course, it's under my shirt, and I don't think anyone can notice it.

LOL That beefstick comment is a classic... |
I use my cellphone
I pull out my phone, call my home machine and leave a message. Next Joint Possesion, I just call my home machine and retrieve messages and get it right every time. Works great.
