Agree. Find it hard though to see how they could hear the whistle.

I have enjoyed the experience several times. I blow the whistle hard and everything stops as usual. I make sure at least one of the players can read my lips when making the call before reporting to the table. They communicate very well and remind us that sharp crisp signals and communication is the key to a great game. The coach is always a great help. You will have no problems.
