From previous threads, most folks seemed to think that the official responsible for the last shot (C or T opposite table) would blow their whistle to end the quarter. Last night, we had a foul called called on a drive right at the end of the quarter (by the lead). In our situation, the foul was called before the horn by fractions of a second (the horn went off just after the whistle), therefore, the C did not sound his whistle.

But, this got us thinking about this situation, again. If the Center -- who has last shot responsibility, but the ball is clearly not in his primary -- blows his whistle indicating the end-of-quarter at about the exact same time as the calling official (who has a non-shooting foul), don't we have a potential sticky "double whistle" situation?

One senior official in our area indicated that the end-of-quarter whistle should always come from the offiicial who has the ball in his primary. But, I know that other officials have indicated that the end-of-quarter whistle should come from the official responsible for the last shot.

Thoughts?

We don't blow a whistle at the end of the quarter unless there's a shot.
