Kinda like that dream, but different
 
MS girls game. Second of two FTs, I'm trail. Shot misses rim, and I try to blow my whistle. Nothing, as I realize it's hanging from the lanyard, my partner looks at me, his eyes saying, "aren't you going to call that?" When he sees me fumbling for my whistle, he takes the call.

Yeah, I'm still a bit rusty after a full season off.

Rusty? You didn't realize you didn't have the whistle in your mouth? Yikes!

Guess it's good for a laugh now.

I did, but it took a moment to register. I kept it in the rest of the game, even for the first of two.
