You Ever Try to Blow Your Whistle....

[shishstripes]

I spit out my fox mini without a mouth guard before, sounded like twee-ftttt. Put the whistle back in my mouth and called the violation. Got a good laugh, coach tried to argue that it was a late call. I said, "I tried to whistle the call when it happened but spit out my whistle, you know it was the right call."

When a coach yells about a late call or a late whistle it's the same as them saying good call. If they thought the call was wrong they'd yell that, and early/late wouldn't matter.

I had a partner who was sucking on a piece of hard candy and thought he was blowing on his whistle but instead ended up spitting the candy across the gym floor. This is one of the several reasons I won't chew gum or anything else during a game!
