I always say "spot" when I administer a spot throw-in. I can't imagine why you would have such a hard time doing it in one place if you're accustomed to doing it in another.

I usually whistle when inbounding the ball on the end line when the ball is staying in the FC,to alert everyone the ball is live. If I were told to do that on every throw-in, I don't believe it would be a problem.

Never heard of anyone whistling the ball live that often. I only do it after a time out or other unusual delay- do you find that it helps?

It's an NCAAW (and maybe NCAAM) mechanic that is useful in FED, if allowed by your state / local association.
