Funnily enough, I was brought up on IAABO mechanics starting in 1985 (also making me old), but I don't distinctly remember sounding the whistle before free throw(s) following a time-out until I "discovered" it in the manual in 2016 or 2017. Older manuals didn't specifically state it before then (though my library is far less complete than that of MTD, Sr.).

Ah, so it isn't quite an 'old dog, new trick' thing!
