Every once in a while, somebody asks about it. I've never used one. Looking for Molten Whistle : Dolphin ?

I use it for soccer and like it, for basketball I haven't tried it yet. I don't think it will be comfortable in my mouth all the time, but again, it works well for soccer. It has a very similar tone to the Fox 40. A buddy of mine from China says it is the popular whistle overseas and recommended by many FIBA referees.
I also think it just looks weird... |

I have a dolphin.
I like it cause when I use fox, I have bad hearing a long time afterwards, the dolphin is nicer to the ears but still as loud and good whistle. But yes, it looks special but I don't care, who's looking at the referee's whistle anyway?^^

I used one today for the first time. It is very similar to the Fox 40 as far as sound. After using something else for years, it is a little awkward. I kept looking at it before I put it into my mouth because it is almost the same on the top and bottom. It isn't as wide as the Fox 40, but it is still comfortable.

I tried the dolphin for the first time last week, while the sound is somewhat similar, I prefer the Fox 40. I guess old habits are hard to break.

I found this web page
http://www.coachdepot.com/shop/?cat=whistledepot which has some interesting variations. I especially like the purple one, and the camo whistle. Maybe they use that in Iraq? Or is it supposed to be disguised if it falls on a staudard wood basketball floor? And I'm kinda curious about the "Micro". I suppose it goes on a lanyard? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd swallow it! Has anyone tried it? |

BTW, Juulie. I agreed to do all the scheduling for TBA this year. ABC is totally out of the loop. If you're interested, I'll let you pick your games and partners (really). Let me know. Games start Dec. 1.
