Six players on the court

[Adam]

I blow my whistle to start the game, to start the quarters, after timeouts, or after an unusual delay (judgment call).

So....you never blow your whistle to indicate a foul or violation? Whose whistle do you blow?

Hopefully a whistle belonging to someone who practices the First Rule of officiating!

I carry my 5-year old (tomorrow) daughter under my arm and tell her to scream when I need to stop play. She's louder and shriller than my Fox40.

Question for anyone, do you usually blow your whistle to end a quarter? That has been brought up to us as a point of emphasis since the horn actually does not signal the end of the quarter. Would like to hear if other states are the same way.

We've had this conversation before.

The horn (or light) actually does signal the end of the quarter, with 4 exceptions. Can you name them?

One is "it's not working".
