Delaying the whistle question

I have not had a problem when I say this, coaches realize that I was going to suck on my whistle, and I decided not to. I think they will respect you more, because your giving the players a chance to play. While still not letting players gain advantages over the other.

I understand this, but my question about this call is that it was clearly prior to the shot so if you delay the whistle and she misses the shot, how do you wave off the shot and give a throw-in? If you award two shots you are penalizing the defending team and will probably hear it from the defending team's coach. By the way, last year I passed on a reaching in IUOH foul and A1 scored an easy layup. Coach of Team A said I missed the foul. I tried your method and in a polite conversation between us he told me he wanted everything called. Turned into a long night.
