I'm not Billy, but most people who use this method put the whistle in the pocket that points to the same end of the court as the arrow when the official is facing the table.

Bingo. Arrow, and whistle in pocket, points to the baskets, not to the benches. We also change pockets at the beginning of halftime when the referee has the table change the arrow.

Let's see. Is the red button down or up for the visitors' arrow? Dang.

The overall design of the whistle and the way the acoustic part of the whistle are cut make me think that there is a potential patent infringement here on a Fox 40 whistle.

Is that a whistle in your pocket?

Like above, I trust that the table at the high school level can do their job.

Wreck and kiddie tournaments I do use the pocket method, but I was taught to do it by jersey color: Light in the right (rhymes).
