I have attended clinics conducted by NFL officials. Their philosphy regarding
whistles is one or none.

And we go by that philosophy on our HS crew as well. Only one coach ever raised heck when a play ended and noone blew their whistle. He asked, "as part of your job, aren't you supposed to blow your whistle when the play ends?" I answered, "as a part of your job, aren't you supposed to teach the players to recognize when the play's over? Oh yeah, apparently you've done a great job because they recognized that play just ended without our whistles." He was VERY VERY quiet the rest of the game.
