I've gone on the court without a whistle.

I've gone to start a second half of football without a flag, beanbag, and whistle (I took them off in the bathroom and promptly forgot them). Since I'm the white hat on the crew, it's pretty hard to blow the ready for play on the opening kickoff without a whistle.

Thankfully, the crew keeps spares in a bag we store in/behind a yard maker.

Once for me. And, of course, the dressing room was locked, And, of course, it took a few minutes to find the site manager to unlock the dressing room. And, of course, the fans cheered when I finally showed up with a whistle to start the game.

And that is why I carry an extra one in my jacket pocket. I put it there and leave it there. If I ever forget, I have a backup.

I don't take my whistle off at halftime but if I ever did, that might be the time I'd find myself without one.

I keep an extra in my sock against my calf. Actually in between socks since I wear two pair...only had to use the spare once, and it tasted so disgusting I don't think I will ever forget my whistle again.

that just sounds disgusting. i would rather be embarassed and take the time to go get my whistle out of the locker room than ever use a whistle i was storing between my socks!

I carry mine in my pants pocket.

Is there something wrong with that?

Once in 26 years. I think I'm OK with that percentage. If I break a whistle, they'll just have to wait till I get a replacement, I guess.
