What kind of whistle do you use?

My intramural league gave us Fox 40 Pearl's for free, so I used that all season. One of the guys also does high school ball, and he used a Fox 40 Classic.

Do you go with Pearl, Classic, or something else?

Fox 40 Classic all the way.

The Pearl sounds like a train whistle.

Primarily the Classic but I do care the Dolphin in case the other folks on the crew want to use that. Want all our whistles to sound the same.

Why?

I saw a women's NCAA game recently where the referees used matching pink whistles.

Classic for me, but I'm curious about the Dolphin, can anybody tell he about it?

As for the pink whistles--http://blogs.thenewstribune.com/preps/2009/01/07/pink_whistles_coming_to_a_court_near_you

That's about officials in King County (Seattle), WA, but we did the same thing in Snohomish County (Everett) WA, as did lots of collegiate and HS officiating groups around the country. Great thing.



Dad--are you the same guy as on the Jeopardy forums? I go by GonzagaNathan there.

Whistle? Why use a whistle? It slows the game down by stopping the clock.

The Classic for me, but I did work some youth games 2 weeks ago, in a small out in the country school, with a partner (1st year) who showed up late, apologized- saying he lost his whistle and had stopped at a local dept store to buy one.
The funny thing was, the only whistle available was a kids one from the toy dept- blue and oversized! I'm still smiling over That sound!!

At least he did not have to buy a case of Cracker Jack.

Check here and here. The first link will probably give you more of what you are looking for . . .
