18. Whistle Mechanics

19. It is important keep the whistle in your hand until you are ready to blow it. This will cut down on the amount of inadvertent whistles. Let the play kill itself. Do not be in a hurry. It is better to be late and right. Make sure to sound the whistle loud and clear with one blow. This is better than a weak timid sounding whistle or a series of quick “toots”.
