Our Story
From one official's frustration with game clock management to timing technology used at championship events across the country.
Meet The Founder Behind WhistleStop
Keith Fogleman is a seasoned referee who understands the nuances of the game and the importance of proper and reliable clock management. Keith is a NCAA Basketball Official and has been officiating NCAA Division I basketball games for twenty years. He believes that referees should only have to officiate the game and not the clock.
How It Started
WhistleStop started with a problem Keith Fogleman knew firsthand. Working collegiate games, he saw how often clock malfunctions and endless monitor reviews pulled attention away from the action. His belief was simple: "Officials could officiate the game and not the game clock."
That idea became WhistleStop, a product seven years in the making that turned an official's frustration into intuitive, whistle-activated timing technology. What began on the basketball court now keeps the clock right in baseball, softball, lacrosse and football, and we believe WhistleStop will change game management in every sport.
