Whistle after timeout even if returning with freet hrow?

[j51969]

IMO this has become less of an occurance in the recent years, don't know why. I have officiated basketball in IL over the years from as far north as Rockford, as far south as Benton, and now in the Champaign area. Back in the mid 90's up north we always did. Since moving back to IL in 2007 I haven't heard anyone do this down south, or in central IL. It seems a more when in rome situation now. But as one of the poster pointed out earlier players are working out possible defensive match-up changes following a time-out, and this would clearly state play is about to begin.
