I could be wrong, but I believe the period ends on the horn, not zero, whether the clock displays tenths or not. What's the rule on this?

ART. 2

Each quarter or extra period ends when the signal illuminates or sounds indicating time has expired, as in 1-14.

1-14
A red light behind each backboard or an LED light on each backboard is permitted to signal that time has expired for a quarter or extra period. In facilities without a red light behind or an LED light on each backboard, the audible timer's signal shall indicate that time has expired.

Like I thought. Thanks.

That is correct. The horn or light ends the period in HS.
We simply wanted to be clear to the coaches in case a stoppage occurred with under one second remaining, and sure enough...

So what are your thoughts on the situation of less than 0.3, and informing both coaches of that time? As long as you are consistent and fair, with this be a major issue rather than ignoring the 0.3 rule?

I would follow the rule. No tenths showing means that we don't use the rule.
One sure way to get yourself into trouble is to ignore a rule and instead do what you think is fair.
