In fact, this sentence can even be read to advocate the reverse of your stated position when there is no try for goal invovled: "This shot-clock horn shall not stop play unless recognized by an official’s whistle."

Until I am shown something definitive, I would stick with the NFHS rule that the game clock stops on the whistle.
The problem is that the people who write these rules addenda aren't thinking about NFHS rules and definitions when they write them. We see it all the time with "running clock" rules, "no zone defense rules" and other rules that are usually for lower level games. But even these shot clock rules for HS varsity have holes in them that just don't make sense.

The appropriate thing to do is get the actual ruling from a state/local interpreter and go by that. We can guess what someone meant when they wrote the addendum, but it's better to get something official.

Did you notice who wrote that document? The guy is the state rules interpreter.
