I once needed a spare when my smitty lanyard kept falling off my shirt in the middle of the game. I did not have a spare at the time and my whistle kept falling out of my mouth and hand every time I blew the whistle. I go out on the court with a spare every time. I do not go out onto the court without a spare. I do not feel running to the locker room is the best way to handle it. If I have a spare no one knows I had a problem with the whistle. If I stop the game to get a whistle, then everyone knows there was a problem.
