Estimates please. How many times, in an average B.B game, does an official blow the whistle?

Question: Would you use a electronic whistle? If it fit well on your hand and wrist (part glove part wrist band) and was not cumbersome.
A speaker disposed on the backhand side of the unit, and a momentary switch on the lower palm area on the front of the unit. There is a time delay function that eliminates sounding of whistle on unintented strike ( when catching ball for example), will sound on continued pressure only, while allowing a repeating aspect. To "blow whistle" you would simply close hand and press switch with fingertips. The sound would be a digital recording at same decibel level as a typical fox when blown hard.

This would free hands and mouth. Be much cleaner and sanitary. No lanyard around neck and no fumbling around to sound whistle. Would not have to rely on the breath of winded official.

Would you use one? TIA
