Why? I only blow the whistle if a shot is taken near the horn. I know there is a thread on this subject somewhere on here; and most people say "why the need for that whistle?"

I believe the "official" outcome of that thread was "when in Rome..."

For the rookies out there, when you have a scrum-like situation, one of the last things I do is put my thumbs in the air for a jump ball. Blow your whistle (several times if need be), get near the players so they know you're nearby, clean up the pile, then put your thumbs in the air.
