One long sharp blast.
This can be practiced by loosely holding the whistle with your lips and blow it with enough force to blow it out of your mouth...had a hearing impaired official with a weak whistle, he couldn't hear it, and this helped him a lot. Other whistle tips: Don't have it in your mouth when you toss the jump ball. Find out what the local view is on whistles for bringing in subs...in my area it's a no-no. Don't blow it on every throw-in. |

I'm thinking they are either attempting to get my attention or a violation has occured. Some guys just like blowing the 40 (or volleyball whistle in some cases) entirely too much! Remember the object is to blow the whistle as least as possible... |
make sure it is in your mouth. it is really hard to find otherwise.

During games you hold it with your teeth and put the tip of your tongue in it to keep from the accidental beep from exhaling. |

As an old woodwind player, I notice a definite difference in the sound of the whistle between "toungers" and "huffers."
Huffers use only airflow to start and stop the flow of air into the whistle. This can lead to a whistle that ramps up at the beginning and tapers off at the end. In my experience it's easier to let uncertainty, etc. "leak" into your whistle blast with this technique. Toungers create air pressure in the same way as huffers, but use the tounge on the end of the whistle to start and top the flow of air into it. This gives a consistent tone to the entire sound, and a very crisp start and stop. |
