thumbs down
Not a fan of tweeting the whistle. Seems to me it is becoming more prevelant in college ranks too. I prefer the sharp blast of the whistle. To me, that gets the point across just fine. Multiple tweets seem less confident and unnecessary to me.

I inadvertently tend to do it on some travels and wish I could break myself of it.
I also do it on held balls when two players are about to wrestle each other for the ball. I'm okay with that because I want the players to hear the whistle to know the play is over. I can't recall ever sounding the whistle more than once for team or player control foul, and I don't see the point.

Seems I do my double tweets on travels, illegal dribbles, and held balls. Why, I do not know.

Back from vacation. Hope nobody missed me.
 A D1 women's official I know from CA called it a "staccato" whistle. He had no issues with it. Basically felt it was helpful for selling certain calls, either 50/50 fouls or unexpected ones. He didn't advocate it for every call, just some. Officials are generally given some latitude to develop their own style points, and I think this is merely an extension of that. Anyway, aside from a purist or two, he's never been criticized for it. Seems to me it's widely accepted now as an extra-manual practice. So I guess I don't feel like it's a bad habit in need of breaking as some have posted.
