Whistle or not

There's little consistency in this area on endline frontcourt throw-ins, though. Some whistle, some don't. It was downright bizarre when one of my partners over Christmas whistled and the head coach told him that it wasn't a proper mechanic and to please stop it because it throws off his players. I stayed out of that one.

Why would you whistle there?

It's an NCAAW mechanic. SO, some do it in HS. It can be a signal to tell the T to raise his/her hand for the throw-in.
