I follow the timing regulations fully, the sounding of the horn early is a 1:200 to 1:300 happening & at the request of the floor officials & coaches by mutual consent.
Okay, now that we can work with. If you are being asked to act contrary to the rules for the sake of keeping the sub-varsity games moving along, then by all means, do so.

But please clearly acknowledge that this is what you are doing. NFHS rules do not allow either team to cause a time out to be cut short if the other team desires to take the full time. So sounding the warning horn early is clearly wrong by rule.
