It is not everyone, it is really one person. And if you do what you are supposed to do, this is not a rule you have to worry about.

OK - for all you newbies here it is:

"Tuck your whistle in your shirt before you take a leak."

And it's the same rule for women as it is for men.

Mark's "unwritten rules" from nearly 14 years ago.

Bonus 10 Commandments.

Made you look! Lol
At any rate, for me the first rule I employ is 'protect my shooter'.

Mark Padgett actually wrote the first trick in the book:

I thought the first rule of officiating was "you do not talk about officiating."

With all due apologies to Brad Pitt...
