blowing whistle for subs

[DLH17]

Does anyone here, that uses a whistle when calling forth subs, use a "double or triple tweet"? Sometimes I do. Tacky?

a good referee will control the game thru a variety of ways: calls made/not made, positioning/physical presence, voice, and whistle.....not enough people use their whistle effectively....

I use my whistle on virtually every substitutution situation that I am responsible for.

Your question mark in OP was after tacky. Yes, it's 'tacky'.

Only if they don't respond to my initial whistle, but not normally.

In my opinion, yes. I tell the table to hit the horn on every sub even when I'm already looking right at them. No whistle is required and it goes against the mechanics manual to do so. I prefer to save my whistle for when it's really needed (fouls, violations and before throw-ins ONLY after a TO or long break).

EDIT:WHOA! I take it back, I just read this...

The official beckoning the subs in shall:
2. Sound his/her whistle, raise an open hand
