Whistle at End of Quarter Revisited

Why?

The ball is being dribbled, the horn sounds. Why?

A1 is passing to A2 when the horn sounds. Why?

The ball is loose on the floor and the horn sounds. Why?

A1 has the ball for a throw-in after b1's basjet when the horn sounds. Why?

We never blow a whistle in those situations, yet I've never had anyone turn to me and ask, "What was that horn for?"

So why blow it?

I agree.

I sound my whistle only if it's my decision as to the legality of the shot and the shot comes at the buzzer.

What if players are scrambling for a loose ball in the paint? I'm blowing my whistle and stepping in.

Your voice works here too.

Sure does, right after my whistle.

I'm very adept at using my voice. Like when there's an inadvertent horn and I yell "Keep playing!!!"

Different strokes I guess.
