I would only say that in a HS game you have 4 times (unless you live in Minnesota) to have last second shots. At least 3 of those times consistency have an attempt to shoot a shot near or at the buzzer. And it is not just about the shot that is committed, it is also the put backs. Blowing the whistle in my opinion makes it clear all the action is over and it supplements the horn. Are there times when the whistle might not be need? Of course, but I blow the whistle every time to at the very least acknowledge I heard the horn and I know the quarter/half/game is over.

I blow the whistle and wave off any other action.
