Rich - I know that you know this, but I want to point it out for the less experienced:

If the clock is STOPPED (i.e., you have a whistle right near the end of regulation) at :00.0 and there was no horn, the period is not over (NFHS goes by horn, not zeros on the clock).

What Rich said, however, is legitimate. If there has been no whistle, and the clock is at :00.0 for more than a beat, blow your whistle and end the period.
