lanyard or carry?

I couldn't begin to tell you which of my partners use a lanyard and which don't.

If your partners are good at carrying the whistle you shouldn't know...but if it starts to effect that officials performance you would know, short burst or whistles that are so soft the players continue to play. Poor mechanics because the officials is so concetrated on not dropping their whistle.

The NF and the NCAA CCA manual say that lanyards are mandatory.

I guess because I played IM & rec ball, I got used to officials holding the whistle in their hands and hesitating to bring it to their mouths to whistle a call. That irked me. I cannot imagine not having a lanyard or smitty. But that is my choice. I don't chew gum during games, either, but many do. If it works for them, I've got no problems. There are bigger fish to fry.

I've never understood chewing gum when you need to be able to blow a whistle. I just know I'd blow the gum into the whistle the first time I tried to call anything.

Some chew gum because they need it to keep their mouth from drying out. I've tried it and ended up finding a garbage can at the quarter break.
