Improper Whistle

then again i don't believe in picking/chosing which rules to enforce. So I don't know.
The best way to avoid this is not to have an IW

The NFHS specifically doesn't want it your way, though. By rule, you have to grant the TO, allow any subs, and proceed accordingly.

NCAA, they do it your way, IMS.
