Do you really think most coaches specifically cover that?? I know most coaches will preach 'play till the whistle...' or something similar, but I seriously doubt they also say, "Oh and hey, everyone listen up. In case the horn goes off, and you're pretty sure it's not the end of the quarter, then it's likely an error by the timer, and you should keep playing because only the official's whistle officially stops play..."

I think it's more of, "Don't stop unless you're sure you heard a whistle." Every other noise is just ignored.

I just haven't seen much to make me think otherwise, small sample size perhaps. It's so rare for not only a table to screw up the horn, but also a player to stop because of it.
