No problem.

There was one T that I should have called this season and did not, against an assistant coach but the scenario was unusual enough that I err'd on the side of restraint. Anyway, it seems to me that assessing a T against a coach when you are already on the sideline might be best done in as quiet a manner as possible... so that particular [missed] T factors into my question - would it have been more provocative to add a whistle when assessing a T when you are already tableside? does the whistle tend to emphasize clear communication? or does the whistle tend to escalate emotional situations?

I could see where a whistle for a pre-game dunk would inform the entire gym of the T and could be good communication.
