But, doesn't it feel like your fudging a bit?

A "quick tweet" is usually done RIGHT BEFORE play is about to begin.

What happens when the next crew does not blow the whistle at the first horn?

Do these teams come to expect a whistle before they break?

Nope, not fudging at all. I'm a Wisconsin season ticket holder and those D1 officials tweet on the first horn all the time. Good practice, IMO.

I don't give a quick tweet before beginning play -- I give a pretty good blast of the whistle, then.
