Yes I keep it in my mouth at all times during a live ball. I guess the rec was just trying to have a patient whistle, haha.

I had one go bad on me this season in the first few min's of a college game.

By chance I had a friend who was at the game who knew where our locker room was so I got his attention at the 1st time out and he ran and got my back up for me.

It seamed like forever till the next time out when I could replace my bad one.( it worked but had the worst sounding screech I have ever heard). Every call that I had the fans yelled at me to get a new whistle... It wasn't fun but I got threw it.

I now carry a spare with me on the court while I work!!!

I don't do rec league games or play in them. More aggravation than they are worth. Some assignors present them as 'opportunities'. I would rather run in a cow pasture barefoot.

That would be a bull pasture. At least according to some coaches.
