So... I ask you this... Refs like this.. are they helping like they think they are, or hindering the kids they think they are helping??

While I haven't (and likely wouldn't) do this after every basekt, I have been know to have an accidental whistle (ahem) near the end of a blow-out with the end of the bench waiting to sub.
