Don't know about Jayhawkland, but here in Washington State the girls HS has a 30 second shot clock, so there are lots of horns during games. The players are taught to play to the whistle, not necessarily the horn as there are usually several (sometimes LOTS) of wrong shot-clock horns. That's why we have a whistle along with the horn at the end of each period.
