I follow the timing regulations fully, the sounding of the horn early is a 1:200 to 1:300 happening & at the request of the floor officials & coaches by mutual consent.

First you say you do it when one team comes out of the huddle; now you say you're doing it with mutual consent? Which is it? I highly doubt the floor actual officials are telling you to do this. My guess is you're mistaking their silence for consent, as they likely don't know what you're doing when you do it, so they really can't consent to it.

If it's something your AD is telling you to do, so be it, but unless you have the consent of both coaches, I think it's unethical for him to give you that direction. Even with consent, it could be argued it's improper, but not a big deal at the JV level.

And the sentence in red above is self-contradictory.
