With regard to being discrete, I don't think one approach fits all situations. Most times that I blow the whistle I am quickly and discretely looking for my partner. If I have no clue on an out of bounds play, discrete and quick goes out the window. There are gradations in between.

I will watch it again sometime, i didn't get a great look at the replay as i was watching in a sports bar and my head was up and down and we didn't have HD TVs at that, so you could be right.
