Tweet or no tweet?

[JugglingReferee]

If an official sounded the whistle, but didn't say anything, he'd look like a tool.

If an official sounded the whistle, and said, "violation - ball didn't hit the rim", people would think "Thanks Captain Obvious" - and people would think the official is a tool.

So conclusion: don't sound the whistle.

Maybe he's a plumber????

I'm not singing "like the birdies sing" here either. Nor am I going to "warble like nightingales". So I guess that I won't be giving my "throat a treat".

No. One of those already responded in reply #4 and said he wouldn't tweet.
Maybe he's a developer of online officials association management solutions?

I used to blow the whistle, apparently more than many, when putting the ball in play. It was emphasized to me to only use the whistle in certain situations (coming out off time outs, long delays, etc.) and that by "overly" tweeting I was bringing too much attention to myself and I should stop. I did.

This is another instance of that IMO.

Could the whistle have been for the sub at the table?
