Sports reviews of Fox 40 Classic Official Referee Whistles
Customer Review: The only whistle you need
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Most, if not all, sports officials are familiar with the Fox 40 whistle. It was designed by Ron Foxcroft and Joe Forte (hence "Fox" + "40"), two basketball officials sometime in the mid to late '80s. I bought my first Fox 40 in late 1988 when I began to officiate basketball after an experienced co-official told me in my very first game that I wasn't blowing my whistle loud enough. Well, the Fox 40 solved that. In fact, later people told me they didn't like me blowing it that loud. This is the whistle used by all officials you see working any basketball game you will likely watch.
The classic fit my mouth pretty well, but the company started selling the "mini." I never really liked that due to the sound, but others I know did. I usually bought 2-3 new whistles each season prior to working games, but I actually never had any that wore out. I had a couple I kept for partners who didn't have one, and kept spares in case I lost one, which I never did. Now, the company has other models which I haven't tried.
When I worked games, I bit down pretty hard on my whistle to keep it in my mouth, but I never busted one. Tooth marks, yes, but all of them still work. I knew one guy that bit down hard as well, in fact, so hard he broke several whistles. I never had that problem, and most people won't either.
I gave my wife one of these to keep on her key ring, as if she is ever assaulted, she can blow this thing in someone's ear and literally deafen them.
