These instructions are much more useful for the sub-varsity games, but there are times when a sub has entered the game during the time out and knowing where the ball is to be put in play is helpful -- and gets the teams to the right spot quicker.
I don't simply use the first horn to say first horn white. I use it when the team is still in its huddle. I also communicate this additional information.

I can certainly see the use of these kinds of instructions - although do you actually say this while the team is still in the huddle? I would worry that I was intruding or talking over the coach. I think I've made those kinds of instructions if they are warranted as the teams are out of the huddle, whose ball it is, where, etc., etc.
