Here we go. During the game do you ever find yourself trying to get the spit out of your whistle??... Not somthing I would have thought about before I started doing this, but they should have a release valve or somthing...

Maybe its just me..

Use a 3/32" bit to drill a small hole in the bottom of your whistle. Might also see a doctor about that excessive drooling problem of yours.

(for you FIBA officials 3/32" is about the same as .047 microdiggitydiggitydiggities)

hmm....I've never seen an official have an illegal dribble violation during a game.

That's because it's always legal when we do it.

Good point. Making 3/32" about the same as .11609 micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters.

Yeah, I can see how the metric system is so much better than what we use.

ok.. LOL.. I'm not talking about a soaking wet whistle...

It just gets a little damp.. find myslef blowing it off in stoppages.

I'm not drueling down my face or anything like that.

No wonder you never see a 3 second violation under FIBA. They count in their head:

1 micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters
2 micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters

Especially if a coach is hollering '3 seconds' and makes the official lose count.

micromillidiggitydiggitydiggitydiggitieliters

just for clarity:

fiba officials do not dribble into their whistles, and in the rare event an american ncaa/hs official works a fiba game: we have the table issue them a fresh new whistle after every tweet it slows the game down, but once everyone understands its a yank official their fine with it.

Hey now, take it easy, don't paint with such a broad brush.

So far only 1 of us admits to being a chronic drooler.
