I know I've worked in enough loud gyms that there are times in a close game where its hard to hear the horn by itself, which to me is another reason to blow it dead, make your whistle preventative rather than reactive. |

Book 'Em, Danno ...
The only justification that I can give, and it's not a good one, is that, as far as I know, it's (sounding whistle to end the period) not in the mechanics manual. Maybe it's no longer the case, but back when we were using NFHS mechanics, here in 100% IAABO Connecticut, it wasn't in the NFHS mechanics manual, and I believe that it's not in the present IAABO mechanics manual either. Remember, Connecticut is The Land Of Steady Habits. We do things by the book here in Connecticut. JRutledge would probably accuse us of being "robot like". Guilty as charged. Compared to the rest of the country, we're a bunch of odd ducks here in New England. How often do you guys stop, and ask directions, from a farmer, to an assignment, and are told, "You can't get there from here".

The powers that be must just assume that officials wear black loafers, or black Velcro shoes. Wearing a black belt is in the IAABO manual, so it's easy for me to manage to wear one during every game.

Had a scrimmage yesterday morning where the main gym was partitioned in half, but the auxiliary scoreboards -- for some reason -- did not have loud buzzers. it was necessary in this case to make sure everyone knew there was 0:00.0 on the clock.
My own observation about my part of Rome is that officials seem to follow the NCAAW guidelines. YMMV

This or if it is absolutely certain the horn should have sounded but didn't. 1-14 says the Red/LED light or Audible Signal shall indicate that time has expired for a quarter or extra period. As Rich said, this doesn't always mean the quarter is over. The absence of a whistle (as we have we have been instructed) communicates nothing has occurred just prior to the horn and so the quarter is now over. Sounding the whistle, on the other hand, communicates something HAS occurred just prior to the horn and so the quarter may not yet be over. |

Put me in the camp of always blowing the whistle to signal the end of the period.
