Immediately after the whistle, the official went to the scorer's table and jabbed his finger angrily on the table, making me think there was a clock issue. So maybe "inadvertent" isn't technically correct.

I was watching with no sound, because my wife was sleeping, so I have no idea what the reason for that whistle was. Anybody have any insight?

Haven't read the story tref posted but I saw Salvatore chicken wing and evidently blow his whistle. I think he anticipated the foul and then there wasn't one.
