Put me down as in favor of redundancy on this topic then.
Me too, especially in my state where a shot clock is used for girl's games. If the players played the horn rather than the whistle, we'd have several stoppages per game due to the shot clock operator being way too slow on the resets. If a shot clock horn goes off, it's ignored unless a whistle follows shortly thereafter. Around here, it makes sense to treat the game horn the same way.
