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.

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

One and the same. Be very glad there aren't two of me.

If memory serves, there are a couple more Jeopardy Boardies lurking around here.

Fox 40 or Dolphin. I like the dolphin, it sounds very much like the 40 classic but its louder.

I have used Pink and blue fox 40's. We were using them for the games the last week in January for Coaches V. Cancer. The whistles were free but they were asking for a donation of one game check, or what ever you could give.

Add one more the to 40 CMG crowd for basketball; for volleyball its a Mini CMG, and for soccer a 40 classic. Just don't know why anyone would use anything else.
