Speaking of whistles
When I work with a female ref, I always ask which whistle they will be using. If they use the mini-fox, I switch to the mini-fox. It just seems uniform for both our whistles to be the same.
I carry two Fox and one mini to all games. I'm a lanyard guy. I called last night with a guy that doesn't use a lanyard. I tried that, about 10yrs ago, when my smitty broke. Ended up spitting my whistle on the floor every call...... |

What does the mini-fox sound like, I have never used one? What about the dolphin, that thing never really took off did it? I got two of them as promos a year or two ago, I have yet to use one in the game b/c none of my partners has ever had one....not to mention you can never tell which end is up without looking at the damn thing! |
I tried a mini once and didn't like it. I've also worked with someone who used a mini and I couldn't hear it very well. Seemed like it was getting drowned out. For me, it's the classic all the way. Just my take...
I'm certainly a lanyard guy. I prefer the Smitty noose. |
I only care Fox 40 Classics. I have not carried a Fox mini since maybe my first year. No one uses them and I see no reason to try to match officials that never use this type of whistle.

Someone had to do it...

I was instructed to use the fox 40 classic with the smitty that hooks to the shirt.
I like the setup. I got the padded fox 40. Man that is the loudest whistle I have ever heard. :) |

The Fox mini sound is very similar to that of the Classic - slightly higher in pitch and not as loud.
I use a mini-cmg with lanyard for volleyball & the classic-cmg with smitty for basketball. |
I used the Dolphin last year off and on. It's ok...I think it's a little shriller than the Fox 40, so it fits in well with girl's freshman games (uh oh...kidding Julie).
I prefer the noose to the Smitty, but I think it's all personal preference. |

it was a minor annoyance, sort of like the way a coach behaves when you finally call a foul on the other team.

I use this one. It works really well when the gym is quiet for an FT and I have to blow it for a violation. I won't say where I wear my lanyard. :p
