We do, but we also must practice common sense in some situations. If pretty much all the players on the court stop the blow it dead. Unless there is an exigent circumstance (ie. hard pressure on the ball handler) I would tend to blow the play dead.

After all my pregame with the table is hit the horn if there is any reason you need our attention and its important. this honestly comes up maybe once every 3-5 years. Inadvertent horns in varsity contests during live play has been rare for me.
