End of quarter/half mechanics

[JugglingReferee]

As for the topic,

I never blow my whistle at the end of a period, unless a try for goal is in progress. I've actually had players tell me that they sometimes do not hear the horn, but they do hear the whistle. (They told me because I asked them.)

The T has the last-second shot (as opposed to the second-last shot.... boo hiss... ) unless there is a fast-break and the L is 'right there'.

In addition, the R check that the book is in order, and the T grabs the ball and stands on the FT line of the team entitled to the ball under that APA.

I, as T, then bounce the ball to the L when she's taken care of the table, and proceed to the endline. Of course, with the warning horn in place to start a quarter, I suppose that an official must warn each team of the warning sound as play is about to resume.
