This brings up another question.....do you blow your whistle when you walk onto the court? I personally do not, and have had many discussions with partners about it. I do not like to bring extra attention to myself. Why should you have to announce your presence. I once had a coach not happy with a pregame T (his player was actually hanging on the rim after a dunk with about 10 min left on clock). His argument was that the player did not know we were on the court. I explained that it was not any less illegal wether he knew we were out here or not.

What do you guys do?

I'm usually preceded by dancing girls and helium balloons.

I've never seen nor heard of officials who blow their whistle when entering the court area. That would be dorky.
