Dead ball whistle to resume play

On a throw-in after a dead ball to resume play do you blew the whistle prior to putting the ball in play?

Or do you do this just to start a quarter?

At the start of a quarter, or after a time-out. Definitely not after every dead-ball. You might use the whistle after an inordiante delay (injury, clock problem, etc.).
