Scott Foster

[kstiles99]

Can someone tell me what Scott Foster has in his left hand here? Could it be a whistle that he was just trying out without the lanyard… Or something else?
This has been bugging me for a very long time now.

His whistle.

Many NBA officials do not use a lanyard. This is not news breaking stuff.

I doubt it's a whistle considering his whistle is on his lanyard.

I have seen guys carry extra whistles in their hand with a lanyard. NBA guys are a different breed, especially the long time guys.

I have never seen Foster without a lanyard, I would assume it is the stopwatch that R's carry to correct timing errors.

Or that's the whistle he uses to keep track of the possession arrow.

Perhaps he carries an extra whistle in his hand in order to be able to make noise more quickly during a potential dead ball scuffle.

It doesn't look too much like a whistle, but it also looks too small for a stopwatch. It's not a possession arrow tool because the NBA doesn't use a possession arrow. Perhaps a small stopwatch? That could come in handy in timing errors.
