Whistle to end period?

This will be an area thing, but your partner is wrong in saying the quarter isn't officially over until the whistle sounds.

I only do it if I have responsibility for the last-second shot and there is going to be a shot that needs to be ruled on. If someone is dribbling around in the backcourt I don't see a reason for it. It works for me.

Same here in my little corner of Connecticut.

We are told to keep any extra whistles at bay. So no whistle here.

I choose not to blow as the horn/LED ends the quarter, half or game.

Just goes to show all of this is local. I'd feel like something was missing without a whistle at the end of a period. Or a whistle to bring in subs.

Or personal. I do this and really do not care what other do or don't do. Not everything we do here is dictated by someone. If I have the last second shot, I have a whistle either way.

Most of the time.

Not if a shot or airborne shooter is in the air, it doesn't.

I knew this but figured it was a Rome thing as this partner was from a different association.

And this is why it is a Rome situation. Here working with people in other associations happens all the time and we still basically do the same things. And we are not assigned by association. So this is why you should ask that guy where he heard that standard and the people you normally work with. Otherwise none of us are going to know what is acceptable in your area, but those from your area.

I was just double checking that I didn't miss something in the manual or somewhere else. Sometimes NFHS likes to state someone one place and something else in a different place.

Not everyone uses the NF Manual. So that is why you must review what you do locally first.

Not addressed in the FED manual and varies by area, association and sometimes from crew to crew. I've heard:

1) No whistle necessary ever...that's what the horn's for.
2) Always whistle to end period.
3) Only whistle if there is a shot close to the horn and you want to a) count it or b)wipe it.

Pet peeve of mine...with all the nit-picky rules we are expected to know about things like wardrobe, scorebooks, etc. you'd think the FED would address this as it occurs at least 4 times per game.

That is why many states, associations or areas stopped using the manual in the first place. The NF takes time to address very basic and common situations or is slow to change to common practices. And why my state has rejected those manuals in all sports and certainly in basketball.
