Started officiating in "The Ancient Times" and used what would know be called a "traditional" lanyard. When the Smitty came out I started using that. I still have Smitty's in my whistle bag. I also have the "noose" type and the "choker" type that has that break away snap. I prefer the "chocker" followed by the Smitty. I never did like the "noose" type.

Because you figured that it would give your partners ideas?

I use a Smitty. As far as I'm concerned, no noose is good noose.

I don't remember what I do for volleyball, but I suspect that I let it drop like I do in basketball. I can ask about the presence of primary rules in the proper forum.
