Beckoning in Subs

BLowing the whistle to bring ALL subs in will definitely keep you and your crew out of trouble with to many on the floor or having subs coming in without being beckoned. They can assume a wave in to bring them in, but they can't assume a whistle to bring them in. JMO

If you actually read what I said, I was not talking about the NF or what is required to do across the country. I was talking about what is allowed or not allowed in my state. And for the record I the person that made the OP is lives in my state. I was referencing our policy or lack there of as it relates to this issue of blowing the whistle for every substitution. It is not required to blow the whistle for substitutions and it is also not forbidden to blow the whistle. It is something that is recommended if you have to get your partner's attention, but no one is going to write you up if you choose not to and you accomplish the very same thing without the whistle.

Also for the record I blow the whistle often on many substitutions and in the camps I have attended no one has ever come out and said this was a requirement. This is one of the many cosmetic mechanics that is suggested and based on who you are working for or who observes you they might feel it is important or not. Truth be told I do not care either way what you do. I do not think it is a good or bad mechanic. I do blow the whistle sometimes because it works for me and other times I might not blow the whistle because I have attentive partners or not a very loud gym. Sometimes I just use my voice and that is all I need to do.

Peace

My philosophy also............. I whistle only if I feel I need too.
