The :15 horn I've only heard between quarters, not before the game or at end of halftime (was the same way when I was Boys' Basketball Manager 10+ years ago).

The only reference found is 2-12-4, however during halftime we sound the minute horn before expiration, not once have been told to sound the horn at :15, except for between quarters.

For Varsity games, the clock never runs down to :00.0 during pregame, as when the minute horn sounds the teams are at benches & introductions are started with the clock reset to 8:00.

Looks like I'll have to e-mail Cindy Adsit & ask what the state's interpretation is.
