Same here in my little corner of Connecticut.

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

To blow or not to blow.

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.

Peace

Friends, Romans, Countrymen....

Around here every "R" seems to be from a different Rome....

I quit blowing except when the horn was "quiet" and just take the "corrections" for what they're worth.

Whistle to end regardless. I work with people who don't and it seems odd to end without the whistle, especially when the shot is close to the horn. When it's not close, still seems weird, but I have no issues with it. I will blow it regardless of situation though, just like subs.

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