Isn't that just a special case of "after a timeout"? If they are just dribbling out the clock, I don't do anything, just let the horn sound. If there is anything that looks like a shot attempt, I blow the whistle and either score the goal, blow the whistle and wave it off if it is late, or do nothing.

The rules state that the horn ends the period, unless a try is in flight. So when there is no try to handle, what would a whistle after the horn signify? Consult your Shakespeare here.
It might signify that the horn was valid because at any other time when the ball sounds during play, we tell the players to ignore it and play on.

Good point. We've heard from IAABO, what does the NFHS say?

And again, when in Rome ...

I swear that some people wouldn't be able to take a leak at halftime if the topic wasn't covered in a manual.

Thanks for sharing.

Reminded me of a story my Dad used to tell us. When we were kids we had a neighbor, Julie, who drove a red Cadillac convertible, but he never seemed to ever go to a job. When we would visit he always had the kitchen gas range burning, even on the hottest summer days (to quickly burn the betting slips). One day Julie gave my father a paper bag filled with something (we never knew what), told him not to look in it, and told him to put it up in our attic for a few days. My dad was pleased when he finally came and retrieved the bag.

Makes one ponder how basketball games were officiated before the invention of written language.

What a novel concept.
