I think there is justification to blow the whistle at the end of quarters. How many of us have ever heard a horn get incorrected sounded during a live ball? Players are often taught to ignore the horn and play to the whistle. If there's an active play, I think a whistle may be a good thing to make sure the players stop and also, if a shoting motion is in progress, to make it clear that you are waving off the shot.

Read my first reply in this thread.
You need to blow if you notice a timing error and you have a count or if a shot is late. A whistle any other time is redundant.

The point you didn't address is the fact that players are often taught to play to the whistle...not the horn...since occassionaly inadvertant horns don't cause a dead ball but a whistle always coincides with a dead ball.

Players are taught many things that we don't need to address by blowing our whistles.
