Whistles

[Bob M.]

Just a word of advice. Don't put your hand on the flag anticipating a false start or defensive encroachment (NF). It doesn't look good. The important thing for any pre-snap fouls is to keep the action from developing. If there is a pre-snap infraction followed by a snap of what is a dead ball, get on the whistle hard--multiple toots if necessary. Follow that up with the flag. Even under the most difficult circumstances the flag should never come more than a second or two later.
