Announcing an IW

Remember, the microphone is for announcing penalties, not a commentary on every play. I'd own up to the IW to the coach but I wouldn't make an announcement to the crowd. Just do your thing, set up the next play and move on.

REPLY: Jim...I think the issue here is that there is a signal given for an inadvertent whistle, and there might be an expectation of an announcement of some sort.

I agree but an expectation is not an obligation so, if conditions were not so great, I'd tend to skip the announcement.
