You'll hear this from coaches and parents. Like a lot of things you'll hear from them - it's not true.
I can almost guarantee that at some point this season there will be a play that is clearly over, a whistle won't be blown and a player will unload on an opponent. Flags will fly for the late hit and soon after you'll hear the chorus sing, "The whistle didn't blow."
Whistle or not, the play is over when the play is over.
