I recently noticed a Coach wearing a whistle during a game and thought this was dangerous because you could unintentionally blow it (force of habit). Has anything like this ever happened? Is is within the rules for a coach to wear a whistle during a game? And if you ever have seen something like this, what was the outcome?

I have never seen a coach wearing a whistle. I have, however, been to a game (albeit many moons ago), where a fan in the stands had one. I don't remember if they were asked to leave or not...but, the whistle was confiscated.

I've seen it, the whistle was used in pre-game warm ups and the coaches left it on, maybe just forgot to take it off.

Certainly legal to wear one during the game. I have no idea why a coach would though because if you blow it, things are going to get slippery pretty fast.

I've seen it happen. Coach accidentally blew his whistle. Bad idea.

GURU...How was the BW/CCH game? I saw it on TV also.

I have always worn my whistle during football games. It helps me in pregame organization and doubles for holding my play sheets during the game.
