Whistle after timeout even if returning with freet hrow?
I know the administering official is supposed to whistle to resume play after a timeout. Do we still do that if we are returning with a free throw? I did the other night but gave a much quieter and quicker tweet.

I don't know if the book says so or not, but I do.
The reason being, after a lengthy dead-ball, there's a chance that somebody involved in the game (players, coaches, fellow officials, scorekeepers, or timer) isn't paying attention. Sounding the whistle alerts everybody that play is about to continue. |

I cant see how the coaches that just got done giving their team instructions could fall asleep in the lengthy amount of time it takes to get the players lined up to shoot a free throw. The timer isn't paying attention seconds after sounding the horn? I see the scorer taking a nap at every timeout, so I guess there is a chance he might not be paying attention. I have worked with a few partners with short attention spans, but I am pretty sure even those guys were coherent coming out of a time out and getting players lined up for free throws. Blow your whistle or not in this situation, that is up to you, but come up with a better reason. Nobody is buying this one. |

1. To paraphrase a recent Secretary of State, what difference exactly does it make whether or not the coaches are paying attention? 2. Your partners are still counting players as you are administering the free throw? I sure hope you guys did this before putting the ball in play. 3. On most free throws, 7 of the 10 players on the court are going to be involved in the free throw. You don't think they are going to start paying attention when you step in and tell them how many free throws before bouncing the ball to the shooter if you don't blow your whistle? As for the other 3 players, I am pretty sure they will figure out pretty quickly that the game has started once the free throw is taken, regardless as to whether they are discussing their defensive matchups, or the coed they are going to hook up with after the game. |

NFHS Officials manual
2.4.4.D.4 and 3.4.4.D.4 After the second horn to end the time-out or intermission, the administering official shall sound his/her whistle to indicate play is ready to resume. However, not many sound their whistle if we're shooting free throws after time-outs.

Some do and some don't. I would say that most don't though. I played it as safe as i could with the quieter quick tweet. I was trying to play it safe.

The book says that we do, but we don't, so I won't.
