Just do away with the lanyard all together!

Get a PTS compatible lanyard, just in case, while you are at it.

I'm sure PTS will be implemented into HS next year, I'll be sure to go ahead and get one now.

I suppose I'll splurge and get both lanyard types and try them. I may even come to prefer one of them.

I use just the whistle.

Once in awhile I break out the Mike Mathis mechanics.

I tried the noose but there were too many coaches that wanted to use it, .

But really, I prefer the breakaway.

If this had a "Like" button I would not click on it.

If God had intended us not to use lanyards he would not have provided us with necks.

Not around here and shouldn't be a consideration either.

If any deity cared, then they wouldn't have made a whistle work without a lanyard.

Just sacrifice a bucket of chicken, and your deity of choice will give you his/her blessing.
