Whistle mechanics on an NFHS try

So we have only the BJ do this on my crew as it is an option for the BJ or Referee. Most do not want the Referee doing this anymore, but our state gives the option (Head clinician to my understanding liked doing this on his crew for some reason).

Totally agree.

I think having the U move in after the Kick and state " the kick is away" will address / prevent "other extracurricular action."
