Whistle While You Work (Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs, 1937) ...

NFHS 10-4-5-B: A player must not: Delay the game by acts such as: Failing when in possession, to immediately pass the ball to the nearer official when a whistle sounds.

Of course, nothing is ever easy. Nothing is ever perfectly cut and dry.
We're taught locally (as I believe are all IAABO boards) to not sound our whistle and the end of a period unless something unusual (act of shooting, etc.) happens.
Too bad, I'm still invoking NFHS 10-4-5-B if a player pisses me off by taking a "practice shot" after the horn.
Why? Purpose and intent.
