I was under the impression that one of the IL State clinicians specfically sadi NOT to use the whistle (on most, normal, substituitons).

It is a specific NCAAW mechanic to use the whistle on subs.

I did not say there was anything official from anyone. If this was the official word, I would have made that very clear. I have been told in many situations to blow the whistle at camps both HS and college camps. I will say that I have worked with a few clinicians and no one said not to blow the whistle or that the IHSA had a specific policy. As far as I know it is one of those many things that depending on who you talk to or who you work with will make an issue out of this one way or another.

Last Friday I was evaluating a new official during the 1st half of the JV game and the veteran official blew his whistle on every sub, regardless of the table sounding the horn. I was sitting right behind the table and they did a fine job with the horn. The whistle got pretty annoying when it was always horn, short delay, whistle. Way too redundant and what's the point? I was told at State, if the table uses the horn for subs then skip the whistle. We don't need horn AND whistle.

But, like has been said, follow the local custom.....

Your situation is my point exactly.
